Queen Elizabeth appears to be suffering from long COVID, after saying her tussle with the virus had left her “very tired and exhausted.”
Long COVID is defined as still feeling aftereffects of the virus, such as exhaustion, weeks or months after infection. The monarch contracted the virus in February and the palace has consistently sought to play down the extent of her illness, saying only that she had mild symptoms and a “croaky” voice. She insisted that she would continue to work, holding meetings with Prime Minister Boris Johnson via video link.
However it now appears that the monarch perhaps suffered more than she first let on, telling National Health Service staff in a video call that “It does leave one very tired and exhausted, doesn’t it? This horrible pandemic. It’s not a nice result.
