The latest figures in the UK show that almost two million people are suffering from long COVID.
Medical experts say it is a global problem, and governments must make the same effort to combat the long-term illness as they did to fight the original outbreak.
Long COVID patients say there is no effective treatment, only treatments for specific symptoms, leaving them with a condition that affects their daily lives.
