Almost one in seven people who test positive for Covid-19 are still suffering symptoms three months later, according to new UK figures. The largest study of its kind on long Covid from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), found people with coronavirus are significantly more likely than the general population to report ongoing issues, which can include muscle pain and fatigue. Among a sample of more than 20,000 people who tested positive for Covid-19 between April last year and March this year, 13.7% continued to experience symptoms for at least 12 weeks. This was eight times higher than in a control group of people who are unlikely to have had Covid-19, the ONS said.
