Long COVID Austria
Long COVID Austria
Long Covid Austria was founded at the end of January 2021. It quickly grew from a Facebook Patient Support Group into a Patient Advocacy Initiative, actively pushing the press to address the issue and increase visibility. We provide information and support to Long Covid patients, we cooperate with health care providers, researchers and politicians and actively try to improve and connect infrastructures to provide recognition, care and support for patients.
