"We are living through a mass-disabling event: Over 200 million people
worldwide have long COVID. In Canada, one in nine people have experienced long
COVID symptoms, and this is likely an underestimate.
Occurring weeks to months after a COVID-19 infection, this multi-system chronic
illness has led to what some have called “the shadow pandemic.” Although
millions are navigating this new illness, four years into the pandemic both
patients and their caregivers continue to face challenges accessing the
information and care they need.
Most Canadians have had COVID, and at least one in five have been infected more
than once. These trends are troubling because evidence suggests that the risk
of acquiring long COVID increases with reinfection."
