SINCE the coronavirus crisis hit the UK there has been mounting evidence to suggest that COVID-19 patients are at heightened risk of developing potentially fatal blood clots. However, NHS England has classed research into this as 'low priority' according to the Medical director at Thrombosis UK.
Research has found that one of the complications of COVID-19 appears to be an increase in the"stickiness" of a person’s blood. When a person's blood becomes sticky, this increases their risk of a blood clot. This means some people are surviving COVID-19 only to then succumb to thrombosis which could be fatal.
