Help for people with post-COVID condition

Talk to your doctor if you’re experiencing a lot of problems with your health in the months after having had COVID-19. The doctor will talk to you about the possibility of getting extra medical tests or care. If you have experienced health problems for more than 3 months, you may have post-COVID condition. 

Getting help if you have post-COVID condition

Various organisations offer help to people suffering from post-COVID condition. You can contact the organisation that offers the help that best meets your needs.
