Important announcement!
 

First of all, thank you so much for everything you have done for your communities during the pandemic.

Although the pandemic is not over, relevant COVID-19 updates have slowed enough for us to incorporate them into our regular communication channels: the National Government Relations Update, New Hampshire CEO Update, Vermont CEO Update, and the occasional Basecamp post. Please contact us if you have any questions about these channels or need access to them.

If you need to contact us, email or phone is always available to you. Check out our renovated website for everyone's contact information.

 

With that said, 

Here is today’s COVID-19 update.

For more, please visit the Bi-State COVID-19 Resources webpage. This links to various credible COVID-19 resources, archives all Bi-State COVID-19 Bulletins, and holds a section of resources for patients.

CDC: Long COVID or Post-COVID Conditions

Most people with COVID-19 get better within a few days to a few weeks after infection. Some people can experience long-term effects from their infection, known as post-COVID conditions or long COVID. People with post-COVID conditions can have a wide range of symptoms that can last weeks, months, or years. Sometimes the symptoms will go away but return later.

Long COVID can be considered a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Learn more: Guidance on “Long COVID” as a Disability Under the ADA, Section
