Coronavirus Pandemic

More than three years into the pandemic, the millions of people who have suffered from long COVID finally have scientific proof that their condition is real.

There is still no evidence that molnupiravir, sold under the brand name Lagevrio, has produced more transmissible or severe variants of Covid.

As cases and hospitalizations climb in the U.S., government officials are bringing back a program that brings free COVID tests mailed directly to residents.

Americans will soon be able to use COVIDtests.gov to request four free tests, the Biden administration said in a release. 

Updated Covid boosters from Pfizer and Moderna will soon be administered at pharmacies, and many other locations across the U.S.

Everyone ages 6 months and older should get the updated Covid vaccine this fall, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday.

The Biden administration said it expects the new Pfizer and Moderna vaccines targeting the omicron variant XBB.1.5 to be available in mid-September. 

The Food and Drug Administration plans to greenlight updated versions of the COVID-19 booster as early as Friday, according to four people familiar with the agency’s plans.

First lady Jill Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, the White House announced on Monday.

A Milwaukee street gang called the “Wild 100s” allegedly stole millions of dollars in Covid unemployment benefits.

Officials are already expecting updated COVID-19 vaccines that contain one version of the omicron strain, called XBB.1.5.

Hundreds of people have been charged with the theft of more than $830 million in COVID-19 emergency aid following a nationwide operation conducted by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, the U.S. Justice Department announced Wednesday.
