Updated Jul 18, 2026

Abstract

Long COVID is associated with chronic and long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2.

The health crisis related to SARS-CoV-2 is not considered over.
Recognition of Long COVID is essential for addressing its impacts.
Promoting medical and scientific advances is necessary to reduce the health burden of Long COVID.

Simplified

Our response to the article "Long COVID: a long story" by Ilana Löwy aims to reiterate the fundamental principles of the definition of Long COVID, focusing on its viral etiology. It emphasizes that the health crisis linked to SARS-CoV-2 cannot be considered over and calls for consideration of all the chronic and long-term effects of the virus. These elements are essential not only to ensure proper recognition of this condition, but also to promote the medical and scientific advances necessary to reduce the health burden associated with Long COVID.
