The main damage is to the pulmonary system, circulatory system and neurological system.

But to what extent, how long and how often depending on whether the Covid case was aysmptomatic, symptomatic, hospitalized or went to ICU is not readily available.

Without data the best guess would be that with more deaths there will also be proportionately more post Covid disability.
