Summary:Levine discusses the long-term effects of COVID-19. From the start of the pandemic, infected individuals exhibited different patterns of recovery. Some patients partnered with other groups of patients with similar or overlapping sets of symptoms and voiced their concerns to health care professionals, allowing recognition of what has been referred to as "Long COVID." In defining Long COVID, 2 perspectives need to be balanced: the need to learn more and avoid premature definitions that inappropriately exclude patients in need of care, and the need to establish interim definitions to enable access to health care and disability services as the science of Long COVID continues to emerge.
