The Trump administration is set to dismantle the federal government’s Office of Long COVID Research and Practice (OLC) this week as part of a larger restructuring of health agencies, sources have told The Sick Times. Office activities have included supporting research at different federal agencies, promoting best practices for clinical care, identifying support programs that could serve people with Long COVID, educating people about the disease, and engaging workers across the government, according to a 2024 report from the OLC. The “decision to abandon Long COVID efforts that support and improve care for the millions of Americans suffering from this condition is unacceptable,” Sen. Tim Kaine, who has personal experience with Long COVID, (D-Va.) told POLITICO.
