Post-COVID condition (PCC) refers to the poorly understood and often serious health damage left by SARS-CoV-2 virus after the acute illness appears to have passed.

Canada ’s chief science adviser, Mona Nemer , recently released the report, Dealing with the fallout: Post-CoVID condition and its continued Impacts on individuals and society.

Universities, colleges and schools have a duty to take reasonable precautions to protect students, staff and faculty from foreseeable harms.

The burden of PCC and the pandemic will shape the next half century , authors say.

Trans-disciplinary faculty and student expertise and lived experience can help institutions understand pandemic’s continuing effects.

New discoveries will not erase the lost educational days and other long-term harms that are already putting pressure on this generation.
