Around 10% to 20% of patients experience Long COVID after recovering from COVID-19. Many people are turning to social networks such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, etc., to express their opinions and feelings regarding Long COVID. In this paper, we analyse text messages in the Greek language posted on the Twitter platform in 2022 to extract popular discussion topics and classify the sentiment of Greek citizens regarding Long COVID. Results highlighted the following discussion topics: Greek-speaking users discuss Long COVID effects and time required to heal, Long COVID effects in specific population groups like children and COVID-19 vaccines. 59% of analysed tweets conveyed a negative sentiment while the rest had positive or neutral sentiment. The analysis shows that public bodies could benefit from systematically mining knowledge from social media to understand public’s perception of a new disease and take action.
