I struggle to recognise my friends thanks to long Covid

Illustrator reveals impact of 'face blindness'

- SUSIE BEEVER

A RENOWNED illustrator has told how long Covid has left him struggling with ‘face blindness’ – and even finds it difficult to recognise friends.

Stanley Chow has had difficulties remembering faces, but says the memory fog has become much worse since catching coronavirus more than two years ago.

The 48-year-old, from Manchester, has opened up on his experiences with the condition.

Stanley regularly ‘blacks out’ when bumping into acquaintances, and said he was even accused of ‘blanking’ a friend when he failed to recognise them.
