What is Post-COVID or Long COVID?

The name 'Long COVID' was created early in the pandemic by people experiencing persistent symptoms after a SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) infection. It has several other names. For example, the World Health Organization (WHO), also calls Long COVID 'post COVID-19 condition', or PCC. In this MyGuide, we use 'Long COVID'.

​

Long COVID also has many definitions developed by organizations worldwide. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) defines Long COVID as 'an infection-associated chronic condition that occurs after SARS-CoV-2 infection and is present for at least 3 months as a continuous, relapsing and remitting, or progressive disease state that affects one or more organ systems.'
