Lay summary

Both the short and longer-term health effects of COVID-19 are unknown. While the coronavirus primarily causes a respiratory illness, it also has effects on other body parts such the heart, kidneys and blood cells and can therefore present with a wide range of symptoms. The effects of COVID-19 may last significantly longer than the initial infection. People who have had COVID-19 may have an increased risk of developing long-term health conditions such as other respiratory illnesses, heart and circulatory diseases, and blood disorders.

Technical summary

This study comprises three interrelated studies which, overall, aim to assess the direct effects of a SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the diagnosis and management of chronic conditions.
