Summary: The US will end its COVID-19 emergency in May 2021 due to milder disease, high levels of immunity, and improved testing, treatments, and vaccines. A new study has found that people with long-lasting effects from COVID-19 can develop seven health symptoms for up to a year following the infection. The Illinois Department of Public Health is monitoring the new “Kraken” variant and Roche has developed a new PCR test called VirSNiP to help protect against it.
