How many postgraduate and undergraduate students were recorded to have had long Covid at your university at any time in the period between September 2020 - September 2021?
How many postgraduate and undergraduate students from your university:

What were the five longest periods in days that postgraduate and undergraduate students took a leave of absence from their course due to long Covid in the time period between September 2020 - September 2021?
Does your university offer any specialised support for postgraduate and undergraduate students living with long Covid? If so could you please provide details of these services.
