Symptoms to look out for were a sore throat and fever – anyone developing those was told to self-isolate at home, assured that they would soon recover, unless they were elderly or had underlying health problems.

"A family from Royston in Hertfordshire are warning others of the long term effects of Covid, 10 months after contracting the disease.

Susie Horwood is a specialist cancer nurse at Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge and got the virus in March.

Her three children then contracted coronavirus and are still experiencing ‘Long Covid’ to this day."
