While millions of people have had Covid-19 and recovered with no lingering effects, there is a sizeable minority who haven’t been so lucky.
An estimated 1.3 million people reported having Long Covid symptoms in December 2021, according to the Office of National Statistics.
Post-Covid-19 syndrome, to give it its official name, is defined as: “Ongoing symptoms after 12 weeks not explained by an alternative diagnosis. It usually presents with clusters of symptoms, often overlapping, which can fluctuate and can affect any system in the body.”
