Long COVID Resources for Community Recovery

Long COVID, which affects more than 20 million people in the United States, continues to pose challenges for individuals and communities. Its impact extends far beyond clinical care, affecting workforce participation, disability systems, and the broader social and economic context of communities.

For public health agencies, addressing Long COVID involves supporting affected individuals through surveillance and access to care. It also takes building stronger infrastructure and systems to respond to the consequences associated with Long COVID and other post-viral conditions. This collection of Long COVID resources supports these efforts and encourages coordinated action among health care, public health, and community partners, which is crucial to reduce impact and aid recovery for individuals and communities.
