1. Government announces almost $15m in research for long Covid Natasha May Australian researchers will hope to better understand the impacts of long Covid with $14.5m in funding from the government. The World Health Organization defines long Covid as occurring in people still experiencing symptoms three months after their initial Covid-19 infection, when those symptoms can’t be explained by an alternative diagnosis. As many as one in five suffer post-viral symptoms, according to a study from the Australian National University of 11,000 people in Western Australia who tested positive to Covid-19. The government has today announced 12 grants, which are the first investments from a total $50m committed to generate better evidence on: • how people experience long Covid, including the impact on their physical and mental health and social and emotional wellbeing • the population-wide and health system impacts • the cause, progression and factors that influence prognosis • national trials to rapidly assess and fast track therapies

2. The health minister, Mark Butler, said The Australian government recognises the long-term impacts of Covid-19, including for those who experience prolonged symptoms following an acute Covid 19 infection. Long Covid is an emerging health issue, both in Australia and internationally. The Albanese government is strengthening Medicare for all Australians, but particularly to provide the kind of multidisciplinary team-based healthcare for people with chronic and complex conditions like long Covid. The announcement comes as health authorities and experts are warning the nation is in the grip of a new wave of Covid-19 and other winter illnesses:
