SNP ministers’ failure to address the threat of long Covid is dangerous time-wasting and must end, Scottish Labour has said.

Scottish government modelling has suggested that up to 105,000 people north of the border will experience Covid symptoms 12 weeks after first becoming infected. 

Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that about 75,000 Scots are currently living with self-reported long Covid and this number is set to increase by up to 30,000.
