Covid-19 'long-haulers'

BBC World Service - BBC OS Conversations, Covid-19 'long-haulers'

People who have had Covid-19 but are still suffering from debilitating symptoms

People who have had Covid-19 but are still, month laters, suffering from debilitating symptoms.

Thousands of people across the globe are experiencing a worrying cycle of Covid-19 symptoms months after recovering from the disease. Four of the so-called 'Covid long-haulers’ - from South Africa, Canada, Bangladesh and New Zealand - share their persistent symptoms, from dizziness to brain fog, with Nuala McGovern. 

Education is also a long-term concern and US parents discuss the different paths they’ve chosen for returning their children to school during a pandemic. For one teacher in Arizona, however, it resulted in a difficult decision. He explains why he chose to resign rather than return to the classroom.
