The assessments protocol included eight psychomotor tests \u2013 Fine Motor Development (Diadochokinesia, Puppets, Fan, and Paper) and Balance (Immobility, Static Balance on One Foot, Feet in Line, and Persistence) \u2013 as well as three cognitive screening tasks from the Mini-Mental State Examination: Episodic Memory After Distracters, Verbal Fluency, and Clock tests. Evaluations were performed at three time points: baseline (post-COVID-19), 12 weeks, and 24 weeks. Participants were stratified by age (18\u201330, 31\u201345, and 46\u201364 years), symptoms profile, medical care, and blood type.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0924270826100672_as3\">\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>COVID-19 induced psychomotor and neurofunctional sequelae lasting at least 24 weeks post-infection. These impairments were more pronounced and persistent in the 31\u201345-years age group, while memory-related impairments were more evident in the 18\u201330 age group. Body pain, coryza, and sore throat were key symptoms linked to long-term sequelae.
