Long COVID sufferer's warning for Australians | 7NEWS

Associate Professor Nada Hamad has suffered from the symptoms of COVID for four months now and warns ‘’if you do value your quality of life it's worth avoiding’’.

More than 7 million Australians have had COVID; most have recovered from acute illness. But some have lingering symptoms for months or longer.

The World Health Organisation defines long COVID as symptoms present three months after infection, lasting at least two months, that cannot be attributed to other diagnoses.
