Sep 12, 2022, 06:00 AM

COVID-19 is here to stay. So how do we best protect ourselves over the long term? 

Discovery Life Deputy Chief Executive, Gareth Friedlander, and Chief Medical Officer, Dr Maritha van der Walt, break down the data around the risk factors when it comes to COVID-19, how we can improve our health and protect against unknown diseases. We also unpack the risks of long-covid, how to plan your recovery and how long-covid is assessed as a potential severe illness claim.

Every life is unique, and life can be unpredictable. While some of life’s events may be unpredictable, there are ways to both mitigate and protect us from today’s risks. In this podcast series, Life behind the numbers, Maya talks to Discovery Life experts about the kinds of risks we’re all up against – in facts and figures – and how to protect against those risks.

This is a four part series on life cover in partnership with Discovery Life
