'She's getting the humiliation of being a 17-year-old who was a champion Irish dancer, who I'm now pushing around in a wheelchair half the time.'
The dad of a Belfast teenager has spoken about how her life changed when she first contracted coronavirus almost a year ago.
"The impact on her has been significant. She was doing the Duke of Edinburgh Award, she was volunteering, she was doing dancing, she performed at Disneyland in 2019 with her dance school. Now, none of that is possible.She wasn't able to do her psychology or English A-Levels, she battled to complete her AS Level Art."
"She had an assessment via Zoom, which was a questionnaire where she gave scores out of 10, how hard do you find it to put your socks on, that kind of thing. That was so exhausting for her they had to do it in two goes. He said: "She's getting the humiliation of being a 17 year old who was a champion Irish dancer, who I'm now pushing around in a wheelchair half the time. There's no incentive for her to make her symptoms up. It's all very frustrating.
"A lot of people have been heavily impacted by this and their lives have been destroyed. But we just don't know how many other people are having their lives destroyed at the moment due to it."
