The Office for National Statistics estimates that 962,000 people in the United Kingdom had self-reported ‘long’ COVID-19 symptoms as of 6 June.

From September, NHS England and NHS Improvement will publish activity data on referral, assessments and waiting times for post-COVID-19 assessment clinics.
