The President of the National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, Gerald Haug, still sees a considerable need for research on Long Covid. "Long Covid is a severely underestimated problem with only limited treatment options so far," said Haug of the dpa news agency in Mainz.
He himself knows affected "young sporty people who don't even have an hour of energy a day". "The causes and the different symptoms are not yet fully understood."
The research suggests that women are twice as likely to develop Long Covid than men.
In addition, the long-Covid risk increases drastically after a severe corona infection that required treatment in the hospital.
Leopoldina
The Leopoldina is one of the world's oldest scientific scholars' societies and has been Germany's National Academy of Sciences since 2008. Independent of economic or political interests, she advises decision-makers on socially relevant issues.
