HHS provides update on federal efforts to respond to Long COVID
The Department of Health and Human Services yesterday released a fact sheet summarizing federal efforts to address Long COVID — the signs, symptoms and conditions that can continue or develop after initial COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 infection. Among other actions, a National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine committee this month will launch a series of public meetings with stakeholders to receive input as it works to refine the federal definition of Long COVID, which will impact how clinicians diagnose and treat it. Also this month, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality plans to announce $9 million in funding to help existing Long COVID clinics expand and implement care delivery models.
