“A bit of a cough, tired, not very resilient – is that already Long-COVID?” perceptions and experiences of GPs with Long-COVID in year three of the pandemic. a qualitative interview study in Austria

Specific contact points that are familiar with therapy-refractory postacute infection syndromes like the postacute COVID condition as a subgroup of Long-COVID are urgently needed.
