Long COVID is anticipated to cause persistent economic disruption

In addition to the agony and suffering experienced by persons with long COVID, there is evidence that the disorder will impact the economy in other countries. Professor Hensher cited recent remarks by the Bank of England governor, who told UK MPs last month that an increase in long-term sickness was slowing the economy's recovery from the pandemic. "And they felt that the single biggest thing driving it was an increase in the number of people with long-term illness," he added. "They believe the most likely explanation for that was extended COVID." He is pushing authorities to conduct surveys similar to those that have allowed the United Kingdom to keep a closer eye on long-term COVID prevalence. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare hopes to have a national dataset containing all COVID-19 case data by the end of this year. This includes information on mortality, hospitalizations, elderly care, and vaccines, and will aid future research into COVID-19's medium and long-term health consequences. Professor Hensher, on the other hand, believes that a simpler household survey is now required. "GPs are becoming increasingly concerned about the amount of work that is being presented in general practice on this," he said.
