Living With Long Covid: Thousands in the UK still suffer months after Covid diagnosis | 5 News

► Have you subscribed to 5 News?: http://bit.ly/5NewsSub ► It is frightening enough catching Covid. But imagine that you have come through it, that your doctors say you no longer have the disease; that now you should be fine. Only you know that you're not fine. In fact, you may be one of the tens of thousands of people in the UK with what's come to be known as Long Covid. It leaves some short of breath, others in wheelchairs, others exhausted and unable to concentrate... It is something many people may have to live with long after the epidemic has passed. Our own colleague Ruth Liptrot still struggles nine months after she was diagnosed with Covid. In the first of her special reports, she spoke to people living with this mysterious illness -- and to the scientists who are trying to understand it. While living with LongCovid, Claire Hastie was determined to do something to help others in the same position. She started a Long Covid support group which has brought together thousands suffering from the illness - she joins us to share her experiences. We're also joined by Dr David Strain and Dr Nathalie MacDermott. At the start of 2020, we asked Dr Nathalie MacDermott to explain to us what Covid actually was. A year on, Nathalie herself has been living with Long Covid since the first lockdown. ► Living with Long Covid: What are the symptoms?
