- HHS has issued a report urging that social distancing and masking be encouraged and even mandated because some people may be suffering from “long COVID.”
- “The lifting of mask mandates and indifferent attitude toward masking and social distancing typical in many public and private places further isolates people with Long COVID,” reads the report obtained by Fox News. “As a result, policymakers should “encourage or mandate policies and protocols regarding masking and social distancing in public spaces.”
- According to the CDC, long COVID is when people who have had COVID-19 experience long-term effects after having an infection from the virus.
