A third of long COVID patients sustained damage to multiple organs five months after infection, a study has found.

Scans of patients who were treated in hospital for COVID-19 showed higher rates of damage to the lungs, brain, and kidneys compared with the non-COVID control group.

Study lead Dr Betty Raman said people who had more than two organs affected were "four times more likely to report severe and very severe mental and physical impairment"
