Did you know? Every COVID infection puts you at risk of developing Long Covid. If you already have Long Covid, a new infection could cause more health issues and make you feel worse.

International Long Covid Awareness Today is the last day of International Long Covid Awareness Month, but for millions of people suffering from Long Covid, this is not the end of anything. It is ongoing, daily, and life-altering. Long Covid continues to impact peoples’ livelihoods and futures, yet the global response still falls incredibly short. Governments and healthcare systems must do more! We saw many buildings/landmarks lit teal for Long Covid, politicians speaking about Long Covid, proclamations, resolutions, and demonstrations. Awareness is important and creates a base of knowledge we hope continues to spread. What we need to see further is real and immediate action from our governments, health agencies, researchers, and medical fields! We need more than words. We urgently need prevention. We need care. We need tests. We need treatments. We need solutions! Long Covid must be recognized for what it is: an international public health emergency that needs dedicated funding and support. Grateful to all the Long Covid patients who have worked so hard to raise awareness this month. Your voices and efforts matter so much! A heartfelt thank you as well to the allies, caregivers, and supporters who stand beside this community, we appreciate you more than words can express! Long Covid awareness is every single day. For some, that means using whatever limited energy we have to push through the year to keep working on awareness projects behind the scenes or continuing to raise awareness in our daily lives, all while managing appointments and getting through each day with our symptoms. We’re starting planning for next year now, so please start sharing your ideas and suggestions for 2027 International Long Covid Awareness Day/Week/Month! Email your ideas to: LongCovidAwareness@gmail.com Solidarity
Every day is Long Covid Awareness Day! Today, March 15, the world comes together for International Long Covid Awareness Day. A day centered on raising awareness of Long Covid and amplifying the voices of those suffering from Long Covid. It’s a day for patients, allies, researchers, and healthcare workers to unite across borders to raise awareness together about Long Covid and push for prevention, recognition, protective policies, funding, research, patient-led research, proper testing, validated biomarkers, and diagnosis, equitable care, global equity in care and research, disability support, workplace and school accommodations, education for clinicians, and the urgent development of effective treatments and a cure. This day is about pushing for all of these priorities and so much more! Ways to participate today and throughout Long Covid Awareness Week: ➡️ Mask up in public spaces (if you can) to help prevent infections and reinfections. ➡️ Participate in social media activities: Share your story or lived experience Use the Long Covid awareness profile ring for your profile photo Boost and repost Long Covid patient voices ➡️ Join an online event: attend a Space, webinar, panel, or patient discussion ➡️ Attend a demonstration ➡️ Wear Long Covid awareness colors: teal, gray, and black ➡️ Take photos of buildings and landmarks illuminated in Long Covid colors, or light up your home or business, and share them online ➡️ Support the community (if you are able) by donating to mutual aid requests, research, or advocacy groups ➡️ Check the many actions and events on social media and the ILCA website calendar: https://www.longcovidawareness.life/calendar⁠ Remember to hashtag all your posts!

Today we remember those who have lost their lives and are no longer here with us due to Long Covid. They were here. They were loved. We miss them. We think of them every single day. We speak their names by refusing silence and speaking the truth about COVID and Long Covid. We carry their memory forward in every call for truth, in every act of prevention, in every fight for those living with Long Covid.

As we wrap up another Long Covid Awareness Month, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those with Long Covid, advocates, organizations, allies, and voices who came together to raise awareness worldwide. Your efforts are driving the continuing push for change and highlighting the urgent need for action for everyone impacted by Long Covid. The road is rough and it doesn’t stop here— we’ll all keep raising awareness every day, whether it’s online, at medical appointments, in emails to government officials, in conversations with friends and family, or in any way we can. Because we know COVID doesn’t discriminate, & anyone is at risk of developing Long Covid.
