It comes as patient groups and doctors call for more research into the medium- and long-term effects of the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which has sickened more than 30 million people across the world and killed at least 943,000. The preliminary study, which has not yet been peer reviewed, included 71 people who had been admitted to hospital and 57 employees of the hospital who had mild illness. The average age was 50 and all participants had tested positive for Covid-19.

The authors said the findings showed that more work was needed to assess the impact of Covid-19 on patients in the longer term. But it has become increasingly clear that the virus can reverberate long after a patient has “recovered”.
