Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion

Dr. Siobh?n N? Bhriain:

As we have said, the science is only emerging. There is no evidence of a definitive treatment for the condition yet. Dr. Bannan will say that some sort of supportive therapy works but there is no evidence for any definitive medication or any other particularly definitive treatment. It is very important that we recognise other symptoms people might have, co-morbid symptoms such as anxiety or depression, and that those are treated appropriately. However, internationally, there is not specific treatment for long Covid. Is that fair to say?
