The Vector Institute has teamed up with Telus Corp., Deloitte and Roche Canada to help health care professionals learn more about the symptoms of long COVID

The framework parsed through tweets to determine which are first-person accounts about long COVID and then tallied up the symptoms described. It found fatigue, pain, brain fog, anxiety and headaches were the most common symptoms and that many with long COVID experienced several symptoms at once.

The framework speeds up the research process around a virus that is quickly evolving and still associated with so many unknowns. Sixty per cent reported one or more symptoms in the long term. The symptoms were so severe that about 10 per cent are unable to return to work in the long term. “I’m not aware of anyone else having done this and so I think it really may be quite useful going forward in health research.”
