COVID-19 can trigger RA flares by causing stress on the body and increasing inflammation. Many myRAteam members have reported their RA symptoms becoming more active during and immediately after COVID infection.

For people with RA, it's especially important to monitor symptoms carefully since it can be challenging to distinguish between COVID symptoms and RA-related lung inflammation. Important safety note: For specific guidance about COVID-19 isolation periods and when it's safe to end isolation, please consult with your rheumatologist and primary care physician. They can provide personalized advice based on your individual health situation, current symptoms, and test results.
