Long Covid may be triggered by dormant viruses behind cold sores and chickenpox as scientists investigate link
The i says scientists have launched a study into whether long Covid is caused by the reactivation of dormant viruses such as those behind glandular fever, cold sores and chickenpox.
Such viruses typically become latent in our bodies shortly after the initial symptoms die down but can stay with us for life.
The researchers expect their study will reveal the existence of a number of different types of long Covid – at least some of which may be caused by reactivated viruses that are lying dormant in most people.
