The NHS in England has opened dozens of specialist clinics to offer rehabilitation to people recovering from the disease.are offering dedicated long Covid clinics but existing services such as physiotherapy are being used instead.Using NHS health data records, all Scottish adults who have had a positive test - as well a sample of people who tested negative for the disease - will be sent a text message inviting them to take part in the new study.
