Prominent epidemiologist Michael Baker says the risk of chronic and debilitating illness from long Covid could grow as more people are re-infected.

The weekly Covid figures released yesterday showed another drop in reported cases, to 19,215.

More than 40% of those were reinfections.

Professor Baker spoke to Jimmy Ellingham.
