This will also require a multiprofessional workforce strategy.Īs well as clinical rehabilitation care, some people need ongoing social care. New service delivery models that provide rapid access to an increasing number of people with Long Covid need to be designed and evaluated. This will require joined-up care management across specialities and between primary and secondary care. Long Covid can be a multi-system disease, and some people may have active disease that needs ongoing monitoring in secondary care. This is having an impact on the workforce, with 80% of respondents in our own survey saying Long Covid had affected their ability to work and 36% said it was affecting their finance.

71% of respondents in our own survey said Long Covid was affecting family life and 39% said it was impacting their ability to care for dependents. Long Covid can be very debilitating and some people need help with personal care months after the initial infection. For some people with Long Covid, there appears to be the potential for further deterioration. There is some evidence suggesting Long Covid is a still active disease, with immunological evidence of continued inflammatory responses, lingering viral activity and/or blood clotting disorders. Some are similar to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and others to orthostatic intolerance syndromes. A substantial number of people have symptoms they are not yet understood. There is also evidence of a group of people with cognitive processing disorders and anxiety with some indication of neurological rather than social cause. The limited evidence of correlation between past history and current pathology would suggest a need to investigate anyone with persistent symptoms, including those who were never admitted to hospital. There is increasing evidence of organ impairment in both people who were admitted to hospital and those who stayed at home. Whilst there is a growing list of symptoms associated with Long Covid, we know little about different clusters and patterns of symptoms (sometimes described as phenotypes, syndromes or clusters). Long Covid appears to be more frequent in women and in young people (including children) than might have been expected from acute Covid19 mortality. The ONS reported an incidence in December 2020 of 301,000 people in the UK with symptoms lasting between 5 and 12 weeks. Any estimates of incidence and prevalence must be considered provisional. (2020) preprint surveys suggest significant rates of Long Covid beyond six months for people who were not hospitalised. For those who were admitted to hospital, between 50% and 89% have at least one enduring symptom after two months. For those who were not admitted to hospital, at least 20-30% experience at least one enduring symptom around one month later and at least 10% three months later. It appears that at least 10% of those infected with Covid19 experience at least one symptom for 12 weeks or longer. Uncertainty about a prior infection means some people report difficulty accessing services for their Long Covid symptoms. This may mask the true prevalence of Long Covid.

Many people were unable to access Covid19 testing when first ill and are excluded from some studies as the infection is not confirmed. There is enormous variation in the estimated prevalence of Long Covid due to different measurement criteria, making comparing studies impossible. But we recognise it covers a wide range of symptoms, including a high number of post-viral fatigue cases that appear to resolve spontaneously by 8 to 12 weeks. Since October, the term ‘Long Covid’ has gained widespread use and we have adopted it. With over 3,000 responses it provided us with an insight into the key issues and challenges for people living with Covid19. In addition, we report findings from a short survey of people living with Covid19 that we embedded on our website. In this review, we focus on the published evidence. Our first review on “Living with Covid19” was informed by the experience of professionals and we worked closely with a group of people with lived experience. At the time there was uncertainty about the extent to which there could be lasting effects, and most people assumed a linear progression of a severe acute infection with a long recovery tail. We published our first review of the evidence in October 2020. This is the second of two dynamic reviews of the evidence around people’s experience of the enduring symptoms following a Covid19 infection.
