MINNEAPOLIS -- Health officials in Minnesota are bolstering their efforts to study long COVID via surveys of affected Minnesotans and the formation of a council of medical professionals.

The Minnesota Department of Health announced Wednesday the formation of the Long COVID Guiding Council. The council will comprise 20 primary care providers and specialists from across the state who are treating long COVID patients.

"The focus of the Guiding Council will be to develop strategies to educate providers and help them implement processes and policies that will improve access and quality of long COVID care," MDH said.
