 ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹Post-COVID Conditions (or Long COVID)

Some people have new, returning, or lingering symptoms weeks to months to years after having acute COVID-19. This condition has many names including post-COVID conditions (PCC), long COVID, long haul COVID, and Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC). People with these conditions are sometimes called ā€œlong-haulers.ā€ Since July 2021, post-COVID conditions have been considered a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). 

Anyone who had COVID-19 can develop a post-COVID condition, including people who had COVID-19 with no initial symptoms or very mild initial symptoms. People in any age group can develop post-COVID conditions. There is still a lot we do not know about post-COVID conditions, and this is an area of active research.

The best way to prevent post-COVID conditions is by taking precautions to prevent COVID-19. This includes getting the COVID-19 vaccine and booster, and wearing a face mask that has both good fit and good filtration, like an N95, KF94, or KN95.
