Abstract

In the version of this article, Micheal Natt (Lived Experience Expert, Coventry, UK; Northwest Lung Centre, Manchester University Hospitals, Manchester, UK) was listed with a third, incorrect affiliation. In addition, the sixth paragraph of the “Fatigue and PEM” section has been amended to note that “While physical therapy may be considered in some individuals with long COVID who do not experience PEM, its use in those with PEM should be highly cautious and primarily focused on avoiding post‑exertional worsening, as evidence for therapeutic benefit in PEM is lacking.” The changes have been made in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
