Can personally confirm. I had to stop lifting when I got a mild COVID case, and a couple weeks in I kept getting the random aches and pains everyone always complains about. At least for me, lifting weights makes them go away (at the cost of some DOMS for a few days, but once you're over that hump you're home free).
