New research has shown the devastating long term impact of the virus with one in eight people dying within five months of diagnosis.
The University of Leicester and the Office for National Statistics found that out of 47,780 people discharged from hospital in the first wave, 29.4% were back in hospital within 140 days and 12.3% died.
