PRESS & MEDIA
Long Covid SOS has appeared extensively in the press since July 2020 - in print and broadcast media, online, video and on national and local TV.
We have used our voice to raise awareness of the nature and scale of Long Covid, highlight the issues faced by people living with the disease and to challenge and criticise policies which would badly impact those affected.
