[…] University of Otago epidemiologist professor Michael Baker told First Up it was hard to tell when this wave of COVID-19 would peak.

“This is very much our third Omicron wave. Fortunately, it’s not as intense as the first two but it’s certainly happening.”

Long term effects of COVID-19 were the biggest worry at the moment, he said.

“They’re grouped into Long COVID but there are obviously a whole lot of things that go on and I think the neurological effects can be very severe and quite disabling.”

Every time you are reinfected, you run the risk of Long COVID, he said.
