Long Covid
(asked on 9th February 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the number of people in the UK under the age of 40 who have been diagnosed with Long Covid.
This question was answered on 20th February 2023
No specific estimate has been made. 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 rather than a clinical diagnosis. It is not possible to provide ONS estimates in the age group requested.
