About This Study

Children and young adults of all ages, races, and ethnicities from across the U.S. have joined RECOVER to find answers to questions about Long COVID, including:

  • Why do some children and young adults get Long COVID and others don’t?
  • What symptoms do children and young adults feel when they get Long COVID and how long do they feel sick?
  • How does having Long COVID affect the physical and mental health and development of children and young adults as they grow?
