Claire Byrne has admitted that it took her “months” to recover from the coronavirus.
The presenter contracted the deadly virus back in March and said she is still experiencing the effects.
The 45-year-old told Goss.ie at RTÉ’s virtual Autumn launch that she has been experiencing a new allergy since contracting COVID, which she is “looking into at the moment”.
“Apart from that, I’m fine – but what I would say is that it took a long time to recover from COVID-19 even though I had a mild dose.”
“I had fatigue for quite a long time. I felt very fluey and I had respiratory symptoms like congestion and so on. Not for weeks, but for a couple of months.”
Claire added: “I think a lot of people who have had the virus have said ‘this is not something that you want to get’ – of course it isn’t.”
“It’s good to make people aware that it’s not a simple condition that you get over in 10 days or a week. It lingers. It certainly lingers.”
