I don't know enough about epidemiology and viral medicine to be able to fully understand this article. However, it's the only study that I'm aware of that looks at medium- to long-term effects of COVID-19.

The Lancet: 6-month consequences of COVID-19 in patients discharged from hospital: a cohort study

Quoting from the summary:

At 6 months after acute infection, COVID-19 survivors were mainly troubled with fatigue or muscle weakness, sleep difficulties, and anxiety or depression. Patients who were more severely ill during their hospital stay had more severe impaired pulmonary diffusion capacities and abnormal chest imaging manifestations, and are the main target population for intervention of long-term recovery.
