AN ENGLAND-WIDE network of specialist clinics helping people suffering from the long-term effects of coronavirus has grown to more than 60 sites, the NHS has announced. Hundreds of patients are already receiving help from the 69 assessment centres that are taking referrals from GPs of people who could be battling long Covid. NHS England said patient referrals include those experiencing brain fog, anxiety, depression, breathlessness, fatigue and other debilitating symptoms. Plans for some 43 clinics were previously announced by NHS England in November, which has provided £10 million for the network. The health service highlighted that research suggested one in five people with coronavirus develop longer term symptoms.
