Non-human primate model of long-COVID identifies immune associates of hyperglycemia

This study found that primates infected with SARS-CoV-2 had long-term high blood sugar and changes in glucose metabolism after infection, but administering a vaccine 4 days post infection reduced the effect. This is important because COVID-19 may lead to long-term issues with metabolism, which affects overall health and recovery from respiratory infections and offers potential treatments.
