Newfoundland and Labrador’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Janice Fitzgerald, says addressing and treating long COVID isn’t within the purview of public health.

“There’s so many people that are likely suffering that have no clue because there is no provincial directive,” said Stacey Alexander, a teacher from Corner Brook who has been suffering from long COVID since the beginning of 2020.
