    • 2021 January 17, Oriol Güell, Jessica Mouzo, “Covid persistente: las secuelas que no se van”, in El País‎, retrieved 2021-01-18:

Los que sufren secuelas físicas, como fibrosis pulmonar, ictus o trombosis, “pueden presentar los cuadros más graves, pero es poco probable que sean una avalancha”, defiende Julio Mayol, director médico del Hospital Clínico de Madrid.
