Table 1 shows the proportion of people with COVID-19 who still reported one or more, or three or more, of 29 symptoms at 12 weeks after symptom onset. At 12 weeks, 37.7% (37.4,38.1) of those in rounds 3–5 reported one or more symptoms, and 17.5% (17.2,17.7) reported three or more; in round 6, these figures were 21.6% (20.9,22.3) and 11.9% (11.4,12.5), respectively. For rounds 3–5, these translated to a weighted population prevalence of 5.80% (5.73,5.86) for having, or having had, one or more persistent symptoms for 12 weeks or more, and 2.23% (2.19,2.27) for three or more persistent symptoms. In round 6 the equivalent percentages were 3.06% (2.98,3.14) and 1.61 (1.56,1.67), respectively, for 27 symptoms in common with rounds 3–5 (Supplementary Table 5), increasing to 3.26% (3.18,3.34) and 1.86% (1.80,1.92) for one and three symptoms respectively if all 35 symptoms surveyed in round 6 are included (Supplementary Table 6).
