Long COVID is a debilitating illness that has affected approximately 15% of patients who were infected by COVID-19, possibly more. It is thought that in 2023 more than 1.5 million patients are still suffering from long COVID and no two people have quite the same experience.
The effects of long COVID are severe, with most patients unable to return to work in a normal capacity. Anyone can be affected by long COVID regardless of how young or fit they are. Children can also be affected by long COVID. Strangely, studies show that most people who are suffering from long COVID had a relatively mild or moderate initial infection. They were not only severe, hospitalised cases, although these patients suffer from long COVID too. Some patients notice improvement in their symptoms followed by relapse. The illness itself is a mystery and research is ongoing to find out more about the science behind long COVID.
