Mar 28, 2025
Researchers at McMaster University say they’ve created Canada’s first-ever comprehensive guidelines for diagnosing, managing, preventing, and treating post COVID-19 condition (PCC), more commonly known as long COVID.
According to the researchers, the Canadian Guidelines for Post COVID-19 Condition (CAN-PCC) provide clear, evidence-based recommendations to educate and help patients, health-care professionals, and policymakers navigate the still relatively new condition.
The guidelines consist of approximately 100 recommendations related to PCC, broken down into six key categories:
Prevention.
Testing, identification and diagnosis.
Clinical and non-clinical interventions.
Neurological and psychiatric topics.
Pediatric and adolescent topics.
Health systems and social support.
