DESCRIPTION:\n	Currently very little is known about the clinical\, biolo
	gical\, psychological and socio-environmental impact of COVID-19. While mo
	st people may have uncomplicated recoveries\, some experience prolonged or
	 new symptoms and complications.\n\n\n\n	The wide range of Long Covid symp
	toms documented indicates that multiple body systems are involved. Some of
	 the more commonly reported symptoms include fatigue\, breathing difficult
	ies\, joint pain\, chest pain\, as well as muscle weakness and neurologica
	l symptoms. These are common among both people who were hospitalised in th
	e early phase of COVID-19 and those who were not.\n\n\n\n	Systematic revie
	ws show that people worldwide are experiencing prolonged symptoms of COVID
	-19. There are implications at an individual level for people’s quality 
	of life and their ability to work\, as well as at a socioeconomic level du
	e to the risk of widening health inequalities. As well as breadth of the p
	hysical\, psychological and social complications\, there is a need to unde
	rstand the causes (aetiology) of the symptoms and complications experience
	d. It is also vital to be able to identify people at higher risk of Long C
	ovid\, as well as interventions that might reduce that risk\, and support 
	rehabilitation and recovery.\n\n\n\n	There is an urgent need for robust sc
	ientific studies into the long-term impact of COVID-19 in both adults and 
	children\, and for healthcare providers to be informed to support preventi
	on\, assessment\, rehabilitation and interventions to improve recovery and
	 patient outcomes.\n\n\n\n	With this need in mind\, ISARIC and GloPID-R ar
	e organising the Long Covid Forum on December 9 and 10\, 2020 in collabor
	ation with the Long Covid Support. The objectives of the forum will be:\n\
	n\n\n		to gain a better understanding of Long Covid\; the science and the 
	personal impact\n	\n	\n		to define research gaps for funders and researche
	rs to take forward.\n	\n\n	Register\n
