Ms Julia Corey:

I can give figures from two studies. The study by Tala Ballouz et al. in 2023 reports that 22.9% of individuals infected did not fully recover by six months and the proportion of individuals who had an infection who reported not having recovered decreased to 18.5% at 12 months and 17.2% at 24 months - so some people may recover but it is very few. Another study by Tran et al. in 2022 found that 85% of those who had long-Covid symptoms at two months following their infection continued to report symptoms one year later.
