Studie: 6 % der Erwachsenen in den USA haben langes COVID und viele haben eine eingeschränkte Lebensqualität

Two new studies paint a comprehensive picture of current long COVID U.S. cases.

Both suggest the condition limits daily activities for a significant proportion of those affected.

In total 6.4% were currently experiencing long COVID. Of those, 1 in 5 said symptoms caused significant limitations when carrying out daily activities.

Idaho, Puerto Rico, & West Virginia all had 8%+ prevalence, & highest 20% for prevalence of significant long-COVID–associated activity limitation.

“Adults with Long COVID, particularly those with significant Long COVID–associated activity limitation, might require additional supports to aid recovery, such as health care resources and workplace accommodations,” the authors wrote.
