Covid Scotland: Scottish Government announces funding to support long Covid care

Care for people with long Covid could be set to improve, after a funding package of £760,000 was announced.
Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland (CHSS), which is providing £300,000 of the funds, said the investment is a “vital first step” towards providing better all-round care for people suffering the debilitating long-term effects of the virus.
Long Covid is a complex condition and sufferers experience a variety of symptoms ranging from breathlessness, chronic fatigue and anxiety to stress.

It has been described by some as the “pandemic behind the pandemic”.
