How long does COVID-19 linger in your body?
With two new Omicron variants on the rise, learn about how long COVID can remain in your body after an infection, physical changes it can cause in your brain, and more.

Thousands of people repeatedly exposed to the virus never got sick. Scientists hope their DNA may hold clues to new kinds of treatments.
