As the government re-open the pubs, and Dublin and Limerick may see some sort of lockdown restrictions as Covid figures rise, there are people around the country living with the after effects of Covid.

One of those people is Aoife Moore in Galway who first developed Covid symptoms on 13th March. At first she wasn't sure if it was a dose she had picked up from her kids, but when the cough and chest pain developed she knew this was something different.

While her Covid symptoms have cleared up, Aoife still has breathing difficulties and she has been diagnosed with Post Viral Chronic Fatigue. The complete exhaustion she feels every day has meant her husband has had to take on all of the childcare and work around the house, while still working from home, because she struggles even to sit upright.

Aoife was very healthy before March and while her blood work is fine, doctors don't know how long this fatigue will last. Her advice to everyone is not to get complacent and to take this virus seriously. We're still learning what the long-term effects can be and her experience has told us that it's not worth taking any risks.
