Currently, the exact causes of a long COVID, as well as its potential impacts past the span of a few months, are relatively uncertain. Yet, Dr Shelley Hayles - a GP based in Oxford who was involved in setting up this trial - stated that she believes up to 10% of people who have COVID-19 may end up with some sort of lung damage and other prolonged symptoms.  

"We're now at more than one and a quarter million who have been infected - and 10% of that is a lot of people," she said. "When medical staff tell patients that they don't know what's wrong with them and they don't know how to sort the symptoms out, it's very stressful."

With the findings of this study, it only further highlights the importance of stopping the spread of the coronavirus as well as doing as much as possible to protect yourself. Even if you get a mild case of COVID-19, you may still be left with long-term damage. This is something imperative to keep in mind as Malta is on the verge of reaching a total of 10,000 COVID-19 within the next few days.
