More than a fifth of coronavirus patients lose their hair within six months of being infected, according to a new study. And women are more at risk, scientists claim, following the research of patients who were hospitalised in Wuhan, China. Scientists who were analysing long-term symptoms of Covid discovered that a total of 359 patients out of 1,655 suffered with hair loss. Hair loss was reported in 22 per cent of patients. The NHS does not list hair loss as a symptom of coronavirus and says people can lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day, often without noticing.
