Disability and the Risk of Long COVID

This week, the federal Disability and Health Data System, which provides state-level health data on adults with disabilities, revealed new information on Long COVID: Symptoms of Long COVID are more prevalent among disabled people (10.8%) than among those without disabilities (6.6%).  While Long COVID can occur in anyone who gets COVID, some people, including those with disabilities, may be at higher risk because of underlying medical conditions or other reasons.  For workers experiencing Long COVID, USDOL’s Job Accommodation Network (JAN) offers guidance on accommodations.
