Set of resources provide information on the long-term effects of COVID-19 and how to care for patients with these conditions.

A third resource gives guidance for providers on conducting a patient history and physical exam to evaluate patients with post-COVID conditions. This resource is available at: Post-COVID Conditions: Information for Healthcare Providers | CDC. Finally, the fourth resource provides guidance on when long COVID can qualify as a disability. This guidance is available at: Guidance on “Long COVID” as a Disability Under the ADA | HHS.
