Teenage girls are most at risk of long Covid, according to a new study that revealed the effects have been found to run in families. More than one million people in the UK are believed to still be experiencing symptoms of the virus several months on from a positive test.
Sufferers have reported health problems such as fatigue, concentration problems and loss of smell. It comes as experts warned a "perfect storm" is brewing this autumn as a new Covid wave could sweep across the UK.
Scientists studied more than 1,000 adults and children from 314 different households in which at least one person was positive around a year ago, the Mirror reports. They found long-Covid symptoms tended to stay in family groups and those shown to be more susceptible to the virus were teenage girls.
