Long COVID in the United Kingdom (UK) - statistics & facts

As of February 8, 2022, over 17.9 million people had tested positive for COVID-19 in the United Kingdom. While the majority of people who contract COVID-19 will not become extremely ill with the virus, there is increasing recognition, particularly as experts learn more, that many can experience symptoms that last for a long time after the initial infection. This has been termed commonly as ‘long COVID,’ or post-COVID-19 syndrome. The most common symptoms for sufferers are weakness and tiredness, shortness of breath, and loss of smell.
