I am sorry for cutting across Dr. Holohan. Regarding the points he raised in his opening statement about personal judgment and personal protective behaviours, I found myself being much more conscious again about handwashing and so on over the past week or two, coinciding with the general return to work. They are the actions that protected us but someone mentioned their being relaxed a little. Dr. Holohan might comment on some of the measures that we can take in that regard.

Could Dr. Holohan give us a tour through the most severe manifestation of long Covid to date? How long does NPHET believe long Covid will last for people? What are the symptoms associated with it and the regularity of those? What time span for long Covid has been seen to date and what are the most chronic symptoms and prognoses in respect of same, particularly among those without underlying conditions?
