The Omicron variant is less likely to cause long Covid than the Delta strain, new research has suggested.
The study discovered the odds of experiencing long Covid were between 20% and 50% lower during the Omicron period versus the Delta period, depending on age and time since vaccination.
The analysis on the impact of different variants on people getting long Covid was conducted by researchers from King’s College London using data from the Zoe Covid Symptom study, and published in The Lancet.
