Believing that certain groups are immune relies on wishful thinking - it feels true because it's simple and comforting. BUT this false sense of safety may lead people to underestimate risk and overlook those affected. A picture of symptoms written in different colours.

Kitty, from the UK was a health, active 14-year-old who loved ballet and sport. After catching COVID-19 in early 2020, she developed Long Covid. Today at 19, she uses a wheelchair and still experiences fatigue, chronic pain, and episodes of passing out. The picture shows a photo of a teenage girl with long fair hair and glasses, she is smiling, standing in a garden with field and trees behind her. It is a sunny day with blue sky.
Long Covid can affect anyone who has had COVID-19, regardless of age or health.

Despite this face, myths persist that 'being young and fit protects you from Long Covid'. This is false. The phot shows a teenage girl on her paddle board in the sea. She is standing up holding a paddle, a small dog is wearing a life jacket on the back of the board. The sky shows a sunset and is shining on the water.
Today is the launch of the Myth-busters: debunking #LongCovid myths and misconceptions.
We are pleased to have supported the development of these resources with The World Health Organisation.
