Almost 60 clinics have now opened across the nation for COVID-19 patients whose symptoms go on for weeks or months past the average recovery period of 2 to 6 weeks.
The CDC shows that cases of COVID-19 in black persons are 1.1 times higher for cases with a 2.8 times higher hospitalization rate. While positive cases are two times higher in the Hispanic population with three times the hospitalization rate when compared to the white population.
Research to better understand people of color affected is underway and researchers are looking into what causes these lingering problems to predict who is vulnerable to develop the best treatment plans.
