Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion
Dr. Ciaran Bannan:
Again, it is very difficult question to answer. We are only two years into the disease. From a pulmonary point of view, we have people who have scarring in their lungs as a result of ICU admissions and being on a ventilator for a prolonged period. They have significantly reduced lung function and that will be a legacy for those patients.
