Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion

Ms Sarah O'Connell:

Yes. There is a huge number of patients from the very first wave. We speak to many patients who got sick in April 2020 and in lots of cases they have remained the same and not improved. In some cases they have deteriorated. A big problem is with reinfection. A lot of people have now had Covid three, four or five times, regardless of how careful they are. A lot of long-Covid patients reported deterioration after that. Yes there are many people who do not get better.
