Overview: The CDC’s Household Pulse Survey data indicate that more than 10% of adults who contracted COVID-19 have had symptoms that lasted at least 3 months. While patients worry about long COVID, there are no specific tests to confirm its diagnosis. In this episode, we discuss a recent JAMA article that addresses the primary care approach to long COVID.
