MPs and peers demand review of debilitating condition as fears grow of surge among young after 19 July lifting
A growing cross-party group of MPs and peers is demanding an urgent overhaul of the services offered to sufferers of long Covid amid warnings that thousands of new cases will emerge every day as coronavirus restrictions are lifted this summer.
Sajid Javid, the health secretary, has been urged by the group of more than 60 parliamentarians to revise the lockdown-lifting plans because of the expected surge in long covid cases, which experts warn could disproportionately affect the young.
