Lay summary

Some people who have survived COVID-19 develop longer-lasting symptoms, known as Long COVID. There is a lack of understanding of the cause and consequences of these symptoms. An understanding of the prevalence and causes of these symptoms may help to develop interventions and design health services tailored to address specific symptoms.

Technical summary

We will undertake a retrospective cohort study of individuals with COVID-19 who have had a positive reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test result for SARS-CoV-2, without a record of hospitalisation in the 28-day period following COVID-19 diagnosis, from 30th January 2020 to the most recent available date.
