Abstract
Although many investigators have examined post–COVID-19 condition (long COVID) and its effects in the general population, to our knowledge, no studies have investigated its effect on one of the largest underserved US populations: undocumented Latino immigrants.1 This group comprises 7% of the US population and has high rates of uninsurance, limited access to primary care, and language barriers when seeking health care.2-4 Anti-immigrant political rhetoric and immigrants’ fear of discovery of their undocumented status when accessing health care make evaluation of this population more challenging.5 We leveraged emergency departments (EDs) as the primary health care access point for underserved populations to address this gap.
