Long Covid: what the facts say

Around eight million Australians are estimated to have been infected with Covid during the pandemic. Experts believe around 5% of those who catch the virus end up with long Covid, so as many as 400,000 people. So what is long Covid? How do you know you have it, and what can be done to treat it?

Jess Davis is a journalist with the ABC, based in Canberra and she has long Covid. Jess describes what it’s like to live with it and how she navigates it with her employer. While Andrew Baillie is a professor in allied health at Sydney University and a psychologist who convenes the long Covid Australia Collaboration. Andrew explains what long Covid is, and what the future looks like for those with it.

So, on this episode of The Briefing, long Covid and what the facts say.
