Long COVID Saliva Study

This research aims to investigate the impact of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome. Participants will collect saliva samples at home and drop them off at The CoRE clinic. We will look at cortisol (and other hormones) level changes and their association with ongoing symptoms.

We are also recruiting for healthy controls.
