About 7 percent of all U.S. adults said they suffered from long COVID after contracting COVID-19, according to a report issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday.
The CDC report found that some 6.9 percent of American adults said they experienced long COVID in a survey last year, and about 3.4 adults stated they were currently suffering from long COVID when the survey was carried out. Based on U.S. Census data, that would mean that some 18 million adults may have suffered from the set of symptoms.
