“ The report cited data from 2022 suggesting that nearly 18 million adults and nearly 1 million children in the United States have had long Covid at some point. At the time of that survey, about 8.9 million adults and 362,000 children had the condition.
Surveys showed that the prevalence of long Covid decreased in 2023 but, for unclear reasons, has risen this year. As of January, data showed nearly 7% of adults in the United States had long Covid.”
