and one in 1a young people who've had the covid virus might be left with persistent symptoms. they could be as many 30,000 in england. it is not a trivial number, some of those will be very severely affected. my name is imogen. i am 13 and i am from county down. i got covid around the end of march 2020, you know, as schools were about to shut. and at first, whenever i went to get that checked they weren't doing covid testing on kids so they wouldn't do a pcr test, they wouldn't do a covid test on me so i wasjust told to treat it like the flu, but the flu ended up not going away.
