Question

To ask the Scottish Government what actions are being taken to raise awareness of the symptoms and risks of long COVID, and the support services that are available.


Answer

Scotland’s national health information service NHS inform aims to provide the people of Scotland with information to help them make informed decisions about their own health and the health of the people they care for.

NHS inform has a dedicated long COVID microsite containing information on common signs and symptoms associated with long COVID, testimony from people affected by long COVID about the impact it has had on their daily lives and information on when to seek further advice from a healthcare professional. This information is publicly accessible at www.nhsinform.scot/long-covid and is available in a variety of different languages and accessible formats.
