A survey of people with long COVID in the Uk has found that 95% of them experienced stigma about the condition at least ‘sometimes’. The study also looked at the types of stigma people experience and found that around 63% had overt experiences of being treated unfairly due to long COVID, while 86% reported feelings of shame and worthlessness about the condition. Around 90% of people said they felt they would be treated poorly or would be discriminated against because of the condition. The authors say the findings highlight widespread and multi-layered stigmas experienced by people living with Long Covid in the UK.
