This question was answered on 15th February 2022
The information is not available in the format requested.
The Department uses estimates provided by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on the prevalence of ongoing symptoms following COVID-19 infection in the United Kingdom. Estimates are based on the self-reporting of ongoing symptoms by study participants, not a clinical diagnosis.
It is not possible to provide ONS estimates in the age groups requested.
