Emma Samms has recognised a "strange anniversary" after suffering from long COVID for a whole year. The 'Doctors' actress has been experiencing coronavirus symptoms, such as "extreme fatigue" and a shortness of breath, for the past 12 months.
She wrote on Twitter: "I’ve had Long Covid for a year. A strange anniversary to be sure" The 60-year-old star has been raising awareness of long COVID over the past 12 months, and her efforts were recently praised in Parliament.
Emma is organising a virtual reunion of stars of US soap opera 'Dynasty' - in which portrayed Fallon Carrington Colby from 1985 to 1991 - to fundraise for the Southmead Hospital Charity, which generates money for the hospital and community health services in Bristol.
