Provide support for sufferers of long term effects of Covid-19

Closed 2,482 signatures

What the petition asks

Thousands of patients worldwide, are reporting long term health problems due to 'Post COVID-19 symptoms' for 'mild/moderate' cases.

The majority of patients were too 'well' to be admitted to hospital, and too ill to remain at home and are left without help and advice.
There's no record of many patient's illnesses as testing was unavailable, some are too ill to resume normal life and are expected to work, others tested positive and are also expected to work. These people are stuck in limbo and need urgent support.

Can the government look into this immediately and provide resources for research for the thousands of citizens stuck with the long term effects of C-19, and the publication and promotion of advice and support.
