In releasing guidance for people living with “long-haul COVID-19,” President Biden’s administration issued information on how those affected can access resources, accommodations, and support. Depending on the symptoms experienced, individuals with persisting symptoms may be considered to have a disability that qualifies them for protection from discrimination as well as possible disability benefits.
