The Emerging Chronic Sequelae of COVID-19 and Implications for North Carolina

N C Med J. 2021 Jan-Feb;82(1):75-78. doi: 10.18043/ncm.82.1.75.

Abstract

The acute morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 have been well described. Evidence is emerging that COVID-19 may also result in negative long-term medical and psychiatric outcomes. A broad response from the public health community in North Carolina that includes robust surveillance and catch-up care is needed to reduce the long-term sequelae of COVID-19.
