Q&A: What do we know about long Covid?

What do we know about the condition at this stage?

The most recent study from Imperial College London suggests the most common symptoms were tiredness and muscle aches.

New research suggests that anywhere between 10% and 20% of Covid-19 patients are still unwell, and require ongoing medical treatment, at least 12 weeks after becoming infected.

In Ireland, there have been 269,793 Covid-19 cases, so 53,958 of these people could develop long Covid-19 and the associated health problems.
