A record two million people in the UK are estimated to be suffering from long COVID, the Office for National Statistics has said.
Of the two million, 1.4 million said they first had coronavirus, or suspected they had the illness, at least 12 weeks previously, while 826,000 first had it at least a year earlier.
Another 376,000 said they first had COVID-19 at least two years previously.
The figures are based on self-reported long COVID from a representative sample of people in private households in the four weeks to 1 May.
