On Monday, July 26th, the 31st Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Biden-Harris Administration released a package of resources and guidance to support individuals suffering from long-COVID. Additional informational can be found here.

One of the guidances released from the Office for Civil Rights at Health and Human Services and Department of Justice explains that “that some individuals with long COVID may have a disability under various civil rights laws that entitle them to protection from discrimination.”

Ensuring that those suffering from long-COVID are receiving the support and resources they need and are protected against discrimination is imperative and a mission of the COVID Patient Recovery Alliance. The COVID Patient Recovery Alliance is a multi-sector group of organizations whose mission is to define, develop, and assist in implementing a national strategy to characterize, diagnose, ensure care for, and sustainably fund the full recovery of individuals with long-COVID.
