How many people on Island are suffering from Long Covid?

That's the question on the lips of Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Tim Glover.

He'll ask Health Minister Lawrie Hooper in the Tynwald this week.

As well as how many have the condition, he also wants to know what's being done to raise awareness.

It comes as the Island currently has the fastest growing rate of Coronavirus cases in the British Isles, alongside an R-number of 4.67 - according to the latest public health report.

Tynwald sits tomorrow morning from 10.30am.
