Supporting your recovery after COVID
As you find yourself recovering from COVID, you may still have symptoms that affect your body and mind. These symptoms should get better over time and some may last longer than others, but there are things you can do to help.
Your COVID Recovery is here to support you and help you to understand what has happened and what you might expect as part of your recovery.

Covid Every Story Matters
The pandemic affected every single person in the UK and, in many cases, continues to have a lasting impact on lives. Every one of our experiences is unique and this is your opportunity to share the impact it had on
you, and your life, with the Inquiry.
Every story shared with us will be used to shape the Inquiry’s investigations and help us to learn lessons for the future. Stories will be collated, analysed and turned into themed reports, which will be submitted into each relevant investigation as evidence. The reports will be anonymised.
For more information see this easy read leaflet or go to their website.
