A study has suggested that people who catch Covid are at much greater risk of dying for at least 18 months after being infected.
Aside from this alarming claim, researchers also found the virus is linked with higher risks of a heart attack and stroke in both the short and long-term.
The study involved more than 150,000 British participants and showed that the likelihood of Covid-19 patients dying, compared to uninfected people, was up to 81 times higher in the first three weeks of infection.
