Children and teens with Long COVID can experience challenges with concentration, memory, mental health, and/or physical activity. Accommodations may be needed to help them attend school, complete schoolwork, or perform usual activities.

School administrators, counselors, and nurses can work with families and health care professionals to provide extra time for tests, scheduled rest periods throughout the day, a modified class schedule, or similar accommodations. Arrangements should also be considered for activities outside of school, such as sports, clubs, scouting, etc.
