"The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 10–20% of people suffer from
long COVID after they recover from the initial COVID infection.

Common symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath and “brain fog”, but more
than 200 different symptoms have been linked to long COVID. The condition
affects daily functioning and can be debilitating.

Our research, published today, estimated the economic burden of long COVID in
Australia. We calculated long COVID cost the Australian economy almost A$10
billion in 2022 alone."
