A quick summary of some numbers:

And 1.2 million currently suffering total in the country with 426,000 of whom have had it more than 12 months. The vast majority were not hospitalised.

Around 1.86% of everyone is suffering from Long Covid. 0.66% of everyone has been suffering with it for 12 months or more. 0.65% of everyone has activity limitations.

Higher prevalence in healthcare and social care and hospitality, surprising basically no one since they like caught the virus more.

The number of sufferers was dropping through much of this year since they started tracking it in February but its sharply risen since August.
