Science teacher unable to get out of bed and return to normal life due to Long Covid

Maya Gibbon was a busy science teacher at a Brighton secondary school two years ago. Since ­contracting Covid in the classroom, she has been mostly unable to get out of bed, struggling to adjust to life with a chronic health condition.

Unable to work, and with her husband now acting as her full-time carer, the couple were forced to live in a van for five months last year and are now facing homelessness again.
