Fox News
The federal government is supporting clinics treating long COVID patients by granting $45 million. The funds will be used to help clinics develop new models of care.
President Joe Biden had tasked HHS last year with developing a national action plan to tackle long COVID, a complex, multi-symptom condition that arises months after a COVID-19 infection and leaves many of its sufferers unable to work.
"The Biden-Harris Administration is supporting patients, doctors and caregivers by providing science-based best practices for treating long COVID, maintaining access to insurance coverage, and protecting the rights of workers as they return to jobs while coping with the uncertainties of their illness," said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra.
