"Only a few months into the COVID-19 pandemic, medical experts started ringing
alarm bells about a potential wave of chronic illnesses resulting from
infections.
Five years on and some estimates suggest 65 million people globally could be
living with Long COVID. This highly debilitating condition remains poorly
understood, but emerging research suggests it is taking a huge toll on society
and the economy.
Our study - the first of its kind in Germany - shows that Long COVID has so far
probably cost the country a staggering 125.6 billion Euros ($142 billion).
And with COVID still circulating, that figure is set to keep rising.
This is not just an issue for Germany. A small but growing number of studies in
other countries show that our findings are well in line with estimates
elsewhere.
There are likely about 871,000 people living with Long COVID in Germany."
