US Government cuts funding for long COVID research

Millions of people in the USA are estimated to be affected by long COVID (also termed post-COVID-19-condition), a complex, chronic, debilitating, heterogenous, and poorly-understood condition that begins a short time after infection with SARS-CoV-2 and can last for several months or years. Despite this health burden, the US Trump administration has cut funding for research into COVID-19 sequelae, and is closing the Office for Long COVID Research and Practice.

Abstract

Millions of people in the USA are estimated to be affected by long COVID (also termed post-COVID-19-condition), a complex, chronic, debilitating, heterogenous, and poorly-understood condition that begins a short time after infection with SARS-CoV-2 and can last for several months or years. Despite this health burden, the US Trump administration has cut funding for research into COVID-19 sequelae, and is closing the Office for Long COVID Research and Practice.
