Around one in five people with coronavirus may go on to suffer long Covid, new data suggests.
Long covid is the term used to describe effects suffered beyond the initial illness of Covid-19.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has published figures examining long Covid, finding that a fifth of people have symptoms for five weeks or more while around one in 10 are affected for 12 weeks or more.
Overall, around 186,000 people in private households in England in the week beginning November 22 were living with Covid-19 symptoms that had persisted for between five and 12 weeks, the ONS said.
