Key Points

  • This resolution officially recognizes March as a month to raise awareness about Long COVID. It highlights that the illness can damage many different organs and last for months or even years after a person first gets sick.
  • The proposal notes that over 400 million people worldwide have been affected by Long COVID. It points out that every time a person catches COVID-19, their risk of developing long-term symptoms increases, even if they have been vaccinated.
  • The resolution explains that Long COVID is expected to cost the United States economy $3.7 trillion over five years. This massive cost comes from people being unable to work, spending more on medical care, and suffering from a lower quality of life.
  • By supporting this resolution, the House of Representatives would express a need for more medical research. Currently, there is no specific treatment for the condition, which often has a bigger impact on women, disabled people, and minority communities.
