It's been 5 years since the #COVID pandemic started. There are still things that are unknown and things we now know. Here's the latest information.

It can take several weeks to bounce back after a bout of COVID-19, but some people develop more persistent problems. The symptoms that last at least three months, sometimes for years, include fatigue, cognitive trouble known as “brain fog,” pain and cardiovascular problems, among others."

Is your medical practice's website compliant for patients with disabilities? Make sure to follow these practices for an ADA-compliant website! 👨💻
"A medical website accessible to everyone can attract a broader audience and increase potential patients. Moreover, accessible websites can improve search engine optimization (SEO) and make it easier for potential and existing patients to find and locate a healthcare practice online.
Additionally, having an ADA-compliant website ensures all individuals can access and interact with its content regardless of their abilities. With the increasing reliance on digital platforms for information and services, be sure that everyone can access such information, including those with disabilities."
