CLEVELAND — While the COVID-19 pandemic officially ended, its effects continue to impact many people across the nation and in Northeast Ohio.

He said part of that is due to testing being somewhat under the radar now compared to the start of the pandemic since patients no longer have to go to the doctor or health department to get tested with the help of at-home testing. “Many people thought that it's in people's head and, you know, it's not real, but it is a real entity…we've evaluated probably 600 patients in the UH COVID Recovery Clinic since it began a little bit over a year ago,” he said.According to a recent CDC survey, 31.7% of Hispanic adults responded that they have had Long COVID, 28.7% among Black adults, and 27.6% among white adults.
