Almost half of Covid patients are dealing with symptoms up to 18 months after coming down with the virus, new research has found.
One in 20 people who took part in ongoing research in Scotland had not recovered from having Covid-19 at their most recent follow up, ranging between six and 18 months after infection.
The findings are part of the first results from the Long-CISS (Covid In Scotland Study). The effort, led by the University of Glasgow, is one of the largest studies about the long-term effects of coronavirus.
