Almost daily, new studies are published about long COVID and its societal impacts. These studies often calculate various statistics regarding the prevalence of this condition, its duration, and its scope.

Note that it’s not a requirement that that symptoms be severe enough that they interfere with activities of daily living, just that they are present.
