Fund to tackle long COVID

Today the Government has announced £18.5 million in funding to help tackle the lasting effects of long COVID, by funding new research to help better understand the causes, symptoms and treatment of the condition

Long COVID can have a lasting and debilitating impact on people of all ages, irrespective of the extent of the initial symptoms – with 1 in 10 experiencing fatigue, headaches and breathlessness can affect people for months after their infection.
 
This investment will fund ambitious and comprehensive research programmes across the UK to help understand and address the physical and mental health effects of COVID-19. Through this research, we will build on our knowledge and develop the best treatments to help people recover from COVID-19 in the long term.
