Abstract: What is the impact of long COVID-19 on people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia? Self-reported questionnaire was used for the report of long COVID-19 symptoms. People with MCI or dementia or their caregivers regarding patients' health were recruited COVID-19 throughout from the Athens Alzheimer's Association. We included 72 participants. Thirty had the diagnosis of MCI and 39 had dementia. Most symptoms lasted for 3-4 weeks. The majority of patients reported having all the symptoms, with fatigue being the major disturbance. The diagnosis and the management of long COVID-19 symptoms requires a more holistic and comprehensive approach.
