New study finds symptoms that join list of Long Covid complaints

People with Long Covid could suffer from a wider range of symptoms than previously thought, scientists studying the condition have found. 

The complaints range from hair loss, to bowel problems and even organ damage. The study, conducted at Washington University in St Louis in the USA, found that long-term effects also included gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhoea and constipation.

The research is based on medical records of almost 12 million people, 154,000 of whom caught Covid during the pandemic between March 2020 and January 2021. The records were matched against around 6 million people who did not catch Coronavirus in the same time-span, and against the records of a similar number of people before the pandemic, reports WalesOnline.
