ABSTRACT

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck in early 2020, the world was in crisis. Those countries who were sufficiently well off to focus on the pandemic focused on tackling the immediate health crisis. Long-term effects were feared in the realm of economics and, to some degree, in education. Long-term health risks limiting peoples’ participation in all realms of public life were, however, hardly a point of concern. Today we see that the pandemic continues silently, not only in the form of new infections with COVID-19 but as people suffering from the syndrome of Long COVID. This paper addresses the situation of one of the least visible groups of Long COVID patients, that of children and adolescents, and discusses their needs within the field of school education
