Britain is putting $10.49 million into a new study to examine the long-term effects of Covid-19 on patients, the health ministry said, according to Reuters.

“As we continue our fight against this global pandemic, we are learning more and more about the impact the disease can have, not only on immediate health, but longer-term physical and mental health too,” Health Minister Matt Hancock said.

The health department said 10,000 people would take part in the study, which is being led by the University of Leicester and hospitals in the city.
