The study co-author Prof William Henley, of Exeter University medical school, said, “Long COVID is an invisible condition, and many people are left trying to manage significant changes to how they can function.”
“Shockingly, our research has revealed that long COVID can leave people with worse fatigue and quality of life than some cancers, yet the support and understanding is not at the same level. We urgently need more research to enable the development of evidence-based services to support people trying to manage this debilitating new condition,” Prof Henley added.
