Long Covid Study
We are excited to be joining the expanded Long Covid Study initially launched by the Central Virginia Health District! The Central Virginia Health District began a Long COVID surveillance project in October of 2023 that is now available to all residents of Southwest Virginia. This includes the health districts of Alleghany/Roanoke, Central Virginia, Cumberland/Plateau, Lenowisco, Mount Rogers,
New River, Pittsylvania/Danville, Southside, and West Piedmont.
The goal of this project is to better understand how Long COVID affects the residents of rural Virginia, assess the quality of support participants have received, and identify Long COVID resource needs.
It is important to remain vigilant in COVID-19 prevention. Continue to protect yourself and others: get vaccinated and wash your hands, if cannot get vaccinated: wear a mask and stay at least six feet away from others.
