While the added risk of clots and bleeding was known, it was unclear how long it lasted, the researchers noted in a journal news release.

To find out, the investigators compared more than one million people in Sweden who tested positive for COVID-19 between Feb. 1, 2020, and May 25, 2021, and a control group of more than 4 million people who did not have a positive COVID tes

After accounting for a number of possibly significant factors, the researchers concluded that those with COVID-19 had 

a five times' higher risk of DVT; 
a 33-fold higher risk of pulmonary embolism; and 
a nearly doubled risk of bleeding in the 30 days after infection.

Even though many countries are removing pandemic restrictions and shifting their focus to living with COVID-19, this study "reminds us of the need to remain vigilant to the complications associated with even mild SARS-CoV-2 infection, including thromboembolism," Ho's team wrote.
