Advocates sound alarm on long Covid in Wales at Michael Sheen’s ‘Nye’
The Care Society is a manifesto of sorts, and a Senedd petition, calling for a caring and greener Wales in which long Covid is taken seriously
Activists raised awareness of the devastating impacts of long Covid at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay, ahead of a performance of the play Nye starring Michael Sheen. They collected signatures for The Care Society, a Senedd petition calling for a comprehensive response to the long Covid crisis in Wales. Its key components include healthcare and research, economic empowerment, and green Covid-safe infrastructure.
Members of various UK and international advocacy organisations were represented, including Long COVID Wales – the devolved Welsh campaigning offshoot of the 60,000-strong patient-led UK group Long COVID Support. Protect the Heart of the Arts, which advocates for Covid safety in the performing arts, was also in attendance.
