The Long COVID Interest Group welcomes new members interested in getting involved.

Long covid 

Up to 70% of people infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 (knowingly or sometimes, unknowingly) may experience long-term medical complications which can last weeks to months or longer. These complications, known as Long COVID, can present with a wide range of new, returning, or ongoing health problems. 

As research and clinical experience in managing this condition has continued to accumulate and evolve, forums such as the Long COVID Interest Group are vital in sharing recommendations and strategies to improve patient care.
