The Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) has committed more than HK$100m (US$12.7m) to helping people recover from Covid-19’s lingering effects.
This money will go towards its ‘Jockey Club Long-Covid Rehabilitation Programme,’ a scheme intended to support patients suffering from, as its name would suggest, long Covid.
Evidence has emerged showing some people are affected by certain conditions post-recovery, such as fatigue and breathing difficulties.
Hong Kong has been hit especially hard by Covid-19. In total, more than 1.7 million confirmed cases have been reported since 2020, and it entered a fifth wave earlier this year.
