76&nbsp;per cent or&nbsp;three-quarters of Wuhan patients who were hospitalised after they contacted the novel coronavirus still had symptoms six months later and the proportion was higher in women,&nbsp;according to a new study published the Lancet.

The research, involving&nbsp;hundreds of patients in the Chinese city of&nbsp;Wuhan, is among the few to trace the long-term symptoms of Covid-19 infection.

As per Lancet's latest study, at six&nbsp;months after acute infection, COVID-19 survivors in Wuhan were mainly troubled with fatigue or muscle weakness, sleep difficulties, and anxiety or depression.&nbsp;

"Because Covid-19 is such a new disease, we are only beginning to understand some of its long-term effects on patients' health," said lead author Bin Cao, of the National Center for Respiratory Medicine.

The professor said the research highlighted the need for ongoing care for patients after they have been discharged from hospital, particularly those who have had severe infections.

"Our work also underscores the importance of conducting longer follow-up studies in larger populations in order to understand the full spectrum of effects that Covid-19 can have on people," he added.

The World Health Organization has said the virus poses a risk for some people of serious ongoing effects -- even among young, otherwise healthy people who were not hospitalised.

The new study included 1,733 Covid-19 patients discharged from Jinyintan Hospital in&nbsp;Wuhan&nbsp;between January and May last year.

Researchers also conducted physical examinations and lab tests.&nbsp;

The study found that 76 per cent of patients who participated in the follow-up (1,265 of 1,655) said they still had symptoms. Fatigue or muscle weakness was reported by 63 per cent, while 26 per cent had sleep problems.

The study also looked at 94 patients whose blood antibody levels were recorded at the height of the infection as part of another trial.&nbsp;

When these patients were retested after six months, their levels of neutralising antibodies were 52.5 per cent lower.&nbsp;

The authors said this raises concerns about the possibility of Covid-19 re-infection, although they said larger samples would be needed to clarify how immunity to the virus changes over time.&nbsp;

Patients, who had an average age of 57, were visited between June and September and answered questions on their symptoms and health-related quality of life.&nbsp;

It comes as mainland China saw its biggest daily increase in COVID-19 cases in over five months, the country's health authority said on Monday, as new infections in Hebei province surrounding Beijing continued to rise.

Chinese authorities introduced new COVID-19 curbs in areas surrounding Beijing on Tuesday, putting 4.9 million residents under lockdown as new infections raised worries about a second wave in a nation that has mostly contained the disease.

China has been accused of initially covering up the outbreak that first emerged in the central city of&nbsp;Wuhan&nbsp;in late 2019, which critics say delayed China's initial response and allowed COVID-19 to spread globally.

Earlier,&nbsp;the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had said that the nearly half a million residents of Wuhan, the original epicentre of the novel coronavirus,&nbsp;may have been infected with it almost 10 times its official number of confirmed cases.

Its discoveries are not taken to be the last measurements of the number of individuals in a given region that have been presented to the infection.&nbsp;

The Chinese CDC said the investigation was directed a month after China "contained the first wave of the Covid-19 epidemic." The predominance rate outside of Wuhan is essentially lower, the study&nbsp;showed. In different urban areas in Hubei, just 0.44&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;of the inhabitants reviewed were found to have Covid antibodies.&nbsp;

Outside the territory, antibodies were just identified in two individuals among the in excess of 12,000 occupants reviewed.&nbsp;

The results of the study were revealed in a Chinese CDC post on social media Monday. It did not mention whether the study has been published in academic journals.

Underreported coronavirus&nbsp;diseases&nbsp;

Yanzhong Huang, a senior individual for worldwide wellbeing at the Council on Foreign Relations, said the examination focuses to an issue of underreporting in contaminations during the tallness of the flare-up in Wuhan, mostly because of the mayhem at that point and an inability to remember asymptomatic cases for the official tally of affirmed cases.&nbsp;

In January and February, patients with fevers overwhelmed Wuhan's clinics, which did not have the labor, testing units, and clinical assets to analyse and treat them. All things being equal, many were advised to return home and self-confine - some wound up contaminating other relatives, while others passed on at home without being recorded in the Covid-19 losses of life.&nbsp;

Underreporting is an issue looked at by health&nbsp;experts in numerous nations, frequently because of an absence of limits and assets. Immune response contemplates led by analysts in different pieces of the world additionally show the Covid was significantly more pervasive than authentic numbers propose.&nbsp;

An examination supported by the New York State Department of Health, for instance, indicated that before the finish of March, one of every seven New York grown-ups had Covid-19 - around multiple times higher than the official record. In August, another examination discovered Covid antibodies in over 27 per cent&nbsp;of the 1.5 million New York City inhabitants tried.&nbsp;

Be that as it may, in China, there is likewise the topic of straightforwardness, as authorities gave the public more hopeful information than they approached inside.&nbsp;

Since February 12, Hubei health&nbsp;experts&nbsp;began to incorporate "clinically analysed cases" in the tally of affirmed contaminations. On that day, about 13,000 beforehand undisclosed "clinically analysed cases" in the area were added to new affirmed diseases, bringing about a nine-overlap increment in day by day cases from the earlier day.&nbsp;

Two other autonomous writers - Li Zehua and Fang Bin - were likewise confined after their inclusion of the flare-up.&nbsp;

The investigation features a tremendous differentiation between the Covid antibody prevalence rate inside and outside of Wuhan.&nbsp;

Huang said the altogether lower rates in other Chinese urban areas recommend "Chinese control endeavors were for sure fast and compelling, particularly contrasted with urban communities like New York."&nbsp;

In an exceptional offer to contain the quickly spreading infection, Wuhan was closed from the rest of the world on January 23, with all flights, prepares and transports dropped, and expressway passageways hindered.&nbsp;

Inside the city, the public authority forced a draconian lockdown.
