Covid-19 has become a chronic condition for tens of millions of people -- and an expensive one, as well. Long Covid -- a condition marked by lingering symptoms that can involve multiple bodily systems -- has cost a cumulative $386 billion in lost wages, savings and medical expenses in the US alone as of January, according to one estimate.
On Tuesday, the Biden administration announced that it was making long Covid a national priority.
It unveiled a plan to accelerate efforts to prevent, treat and detect long Covid through a national interagency research action program.
In February, the National Institutes of Health announced a $1.15 billion initiative to support research into the condition over four years.
