Some people who have been infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 can experience long-term effects from their infection, known as Long COVID. Long COVID is broadly defined as signs, symptoms, and conditions that continue or develop after an initial COVID-19 infection. This definition of Long COVID was developed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in collaboration with CDC and other partners.
People call Long COVID by many names, including Post-COVID Conditions (PCC), long-haul COVID, post-acute COVID-19, long-term effects of COVID, and chronic COVID.
