Dealing with the Fallout: Post-COVID-19 Condition and Its Continued Impact on Individuals and Society - Published Sept 2024
INTRODUCTION
In early 2023, the Office of the Chief Science Advisor published a report titled “Post-COVID-19 Condition in Canada: What we know, what we don’t know, and a framework for action” . The PCC Report took into account the existing scientific literature and published evidence through to October 2022, as well as the perspectives of people with lived experience and input from several expert roundtables held in 2022. During the following months, research into the frequency, manifestations, causes, and treatment of PCC intensified. On February 27, 2024, a meeting of the Chief Science Advisor’s Task Force on Post-COVID-19 Condition was convened to take stock of the latest science and policy actions related to PCC and formulate priority recommendations based on the current state of science. The scientific updates and deliberations from this meeting, as well as recent literature up to June 2024, inform this report “Dealing with the Fallout: Post-COVID-19 Condition and Its Continued Impact on Individuals and Society”. In addition to providing recommendations, this report sets important goals to continue to raise awareness of PCC, to help prevent its development and to minimize its health and societal impact.
