A new study has found surprisingly high rates of long-COVID in Ethiopia and Uganda. Of about 2,000 participants, more than two-thirds were found to struggle with long-term complications from an initial COVID-19 infection. Additionally, the study found that many of these people thought they had malaria, not long-COVID, because the symptoms are similar. The World's Host Carolyn Beeler spoke with Dr. Jane Achan in Uganda, who led the study.
