Long COVID is defined as symptoms persisting for three months or more after the initial infection.

It can range from mild to utterly disabling, and there are no proven diagnostic tests or treatments.

The best window for recovery is in the first six months after getting COVID-19 , researchers say.

Long-haulers face a new challenge with each spike in COVID cases.

"I don't want to live my life in bed," says long-hauler Shannon Turner , a 39-year-old singer.
