Long COVID or post-COVID refers to various health issues that persist after acute COVID-19, including neurological and respiratory symptoms, as well as fatigue. About 6.9% of adults in the USA reportedly suffered from long COVID in 2022. However, the current lack of data from states and territories hinders targeted public health responses. The Association of State and Territorial Health Officials and Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists have also highlighted this gap. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the USA conducted a nationwide study to estimate the prevalence of long COVID among adults to address this need.
