Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential effect of the Government's decision to ease covid-19 restrictions on 19 July 2021 on the projected number of long covid cases in the next 12 months; and if he will make a statement.
‘Long’ COVID-19 is a new condition that is not yet fully understood. We are working to develop our understanding, including the numbers of people being affected, the duration of symptoms and methods of reporting.
