At Long last

Rehab breakthrough over persistent Covid effects like brain fog

- BY MARTIN BAGOT

THE first effective Long Covid brain rehabilitation programme has been developed in the UK.

Scientists have discovered techniques that fight symptoms such as brain fog and enable sufferers to return to work and their hobbies.

The study offers hope to thousands of families whose loved ones have been left effectively disabled by lasting symptoms of Covid-19.

Experts at University College London asked volunteers to log when they forgot how to do something or became distracted during everyday tasks.

That included completing jigsaw puzzles and cooking meals.
