Some people suffer from Long Covid after their Corona infection.

There will now be a post-Covid ambulance in Erlangen from December.

Erlangen - For some people, Corona feels like a cold, others still feel effects such as coughing or shortness of breath long after the test has been negative again, and for some the infection has dramatic consequences: They suffer from Long Covid.

The interdisciplinary facility should start at the beginning of December.
