Welcome to Long Covid Awareness Week | March 10-15th, 2025

March is International Long COVID Awareness month and Long COVID Awareness Day is on Saturday 15th March 2025, but preceding this are a week of events going on nationally in Canada and internationally all over the World to mark the day and raise awareness.

In March, the Long Covid Awareness Campaign will share at least one patient experience every day, and on March 15, at least one story every hour. Please visit Long COVID Land and submit your story in writing, video, or audio format if you would like it to be featured in their campaign.

Here at LCTA we are a Canadian based business and we have worked closely with the Canadian COVID Society to showcase what is going on in Canada to mark the event.

The Canadian COVID Society have arranged for some famous landmarks across Canada to be lit for Long COVID Awareness – scroll to the bottom of the page on this link to see where you can observe them – https://covidsociety.ca/priorities/long-covid/

In the week leading up to Long Covid Awareness Day on March 15th, we will be raising awareness and taking action to support people across Canada living with long Covid.
