Should Supports for Long COVID Be Extended?

Long Covid continues to impact the lives of many across the country. It was recently announced that those eligible for the Long COVID Support Scheme will now have until the end of the year to access this benefit. Originally set to end this month, the scheme has been extended by six months. While this extension is welcome, it raises important questions about the future of support for those affected. Andrea speaks to those still suffering and with Professor Jack Lambert from the UCD School of Medicine. Listen here.
