Your Michigan Answer for COVID-19

COVID-19 is no longer a public health emergency but is still a common and serious respiratory illness that can be life-threatening. Today, there are more treatments and support than ever before, here at University of Michigan Health.

COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and is spread through breathing, talking and coughing. Symptoms usually include a sore throat, fatigue and difficulty breathing. However, if you have other health conditions or are over the age of 60, COVID-19 can cause serious complications. 

At University of Michigan Health, we are still working hard to research COVID-19 prevention, diagnosis and treatment, including recovery from long-term lingering symptoms (long COVID). Our team has the advanced tools and deep understanding of this virus to provide the answers you need.

Our COVID-19 care includes easy access to testing, vaccination and cutting-edge treatment, including clinical trials, to help you recover faster. If you are struggling with long COVID, symptoms persisting for three or more months after infection, our Post-Covid Clinic provides specialized care and recovery groups.

Get compassionate care and advanced treatment for COVID-19 right here at U-M Health, today.
