People who have had or suspect they may have had long Covid are almost twice as likely to have experienced depression as those who do not think they have ever contracted coronavirus, research suggests.

Some 6.2% of adults said they may have experienced long Covid when polled by the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) between April 7 and June 13.
