A scientist said the virus can be 'destructive,' even among those considered healthy or who have had mild infections
People with Long Covid could suffer from a wider range of symptoms than previously thought, scientists studying the condition have found.
The research is based on medical records of almost 12 million people, 154,000 of whom caught Covid during the pandemic between March 2020 and January 2021. The records were matched against around 6 million people who did not catch Coronavirus in the same time-span, and against the records of a similar number of people before the pandemic, reports WalesOnline.
He told Sky News: "The virus can be destructive, even among those considered healthy or who have had mild infections." Symptoms tended to be around 36 per cent more likely among those more immediately affected by the disease, such as anyone taken to hospital with the coronavirus. A study recently carried out in the UK by the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies — SAGE — which provided scientific and technical advice to support government decision makers during emergencies — found the majority of Long Covid patients suffered organ damage even after a year of catching Covid.
