Graphic with a computer screen showing the change.org petition titled “Demand Federal Action on Biomedical Care for Children Living with Long COVID” The French translation of this title is immediately below. Below the titles is the Children’s Long Covid Network (CLCN) logo. This includes a graphic of a highly stylized hand, palm up, in a dark teal colour. In the hand are three figures in a coral pink colour. Beside this graphic is the organization’s name and tagline, which reads: “Children’s Long Covid Network Their strength. Their journey. Our responsibility.” The French translation of this text is directly below. The computer screen sits on a background featuring a navy and teal gradient. There are blue-toned dots scattered across the background.

Last fall, the Children’s Long Covid Network launched a petition calling on the federal government to take action for children living with Long Covid. Learn more, and add your name to those calling for action: chng.it/7ZSzLXnp5n

As this paper notes, up to 10-20% of children with a history of Covid-19 infection develop Long Covid. The symptoms vary by age groups, so it’s important for parents and caregivers to know what to watch for.
