The Covid-19 and Trust in Science Project (CATS) studies the experiences of Long Covid (also referred to as Long Haul Covid or Post-Covid Syndrome) patients in the United States, Brazil, and China.
Long Covid stands for the persisting symptoms and complications arising from Covid-19 that last for months, well beyond the period of acute illness. These symptoms vary from patient to patient but include symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, respiratory distress (POTS), diffuse pain, and GI symptoms.
Researchers have estimated that about 10 to 35% of those with Covid-19 develop Long Covid. CATS aims to document:
- The experience of recovering Covid-19 patients and Long Covid patients as they attempt to gain access to medical care and support.
- The sources of trustworthy information that Long Covid patients rely on to make decisions about their health and wellbeing.
