Children suffering with long covid are still awaiting support from Government.
The recent Covid review recommends that a programme for treating long covid in children should be developed, almost 4 years on from the first case being detected on Island.
The review highlighted that failing to consider Long Covid as part of emergency planning meant GPs were slow to understand symptoms as being linked to Covid.
50% of long covid sufferers match the symptom profile of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, or ME as it's more commonly known.
Juan Corlett is Chair of ME Support IOM, he said if young people don't have their long covid detected, and managed in an appropriate way, it can have serious implications for their development:
