    Highlights
    • Long-hauler is a term that refers to the long-term effects of COVID-19
    • Long-haul COVID-19 is a diagnosis of exclusion
    • Do not ignore the emotional dimension of long-haul COVID-19
    Abstract
    As the numbers of acute SARS-CoV-2 infections continue to rise, we are learning that symptoms do not resolve quickly in all patients. While it is not clear why some patients experience persistent symptoms, these individuals suffer. Long-hauler is the term that is associated with these persistent symptoms and a review of the literature provides information to nurse practitioners working in primary care about symptomatology, risk factors, and resources for disease management.
