Post-COVID Conditions (or Long COVID)

Some individuals experience returning illness, recurring health problems, or a range of new symptoms weeks or months after having COVID-19. This is referred to as post-COVID conditions, long COVID or other names. Individuals with these conditions are sometimes called “long-haulers.” As of July 2021, “long COVID,” is considered a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Anyone who had COVID-19 can develop post-COVID conditions, including people who had COVID-19 with no symptoms or very mild symptoms. It can happen to people in any age group but appears to be less common in children compared to adults.

Suggested message: Long COVID survivors are sharing their stories so that others won’t have one to share. Many people, including young adults, have been infected with COVID-19 and continue to suffer from persistent health problems months later. Anyone can get long COVID but the best way to prevent it is by getting the COVID-19 vaccine and booster, and wearing a mask that has both good fit and good filtration, like an N95, KF94, or KN95. https://myturn.ca.gov/ #VoicesofLongCovid
