A caretaker has successfully claimed that long Covid is a disability in what could prove to be a landmark tribunal ruling.
Terence Burke is believed to be the first person in Britain to have the condition recognised as a disability after he was given permission to being a case of disability discrimination against his former employer.
Mr Burke contracted coronavirus in November 2020 and despite experiencing “very mild” and flu-like” symptoms during the isolation period, he soon developed severe headaches and fatigue and did not return to work at Turning Point Scotland until he was sacked nine months later.
