Young people living with debilitating symptoms caused by long Covid have described feeling abandoned and having to "battle" to access NHS support. Kaylee, 17, a once promising gymnast who hoped to represent her country, developed the virus on her 12th birthday and still experiences symptoms including dizziness and shortness of breath, causing her to miss school and give up on the sport she loves. Two million people in the UK have long Covid, according to the Office for National Statistics.
