Long covid more common in Leinster, survey finds

Long covid is experienced when symptoms of coronavirus such as fatigue, muscle aches, and shortness of breath are experienced for months after the initial infection subsides.

Long covid is more than twice as common in Leinster than other areas in Ireland, causing delays in specialist clinics, a survey has found.

Patients in Leinster can wait up to a year to see a long covid specialist amid lengthy wait times in clinics.
