The Italian ISS @istsupsan shares the first guidelines on #LongCovid

Another step towards the formal recognition of SARS-CoV-2 infection's long term health effects in Italy and worldwide

Thanks to all the researchers, advocates and policy makers that made this possible

I wasn't involved in writing the guidelines and I still need to read the longer version.
Thus, I can't comment on the details.
It's a good step forward, however, that #LongCovid is reaching formal recognition in yet another country. And with the long covid name!

Happy to have contributed to #LongCovid advocacy in Italy and internationally, which contributed to this specific advancement in a single country

Patient led advocacy and research on covid is truly a collective effort, a global phenomenon, and a game changer in this pandemic
