After two years of living through COVID-19, little is still known in Indonesia about how to address the lingering effects of the coronavirus on survivors, long after they test negative for the infection.

But now there are concerns that the “long COVID” phenomenon could start affecting children, potentially complicating the recovery of the younger generation in a pandemic that has already cost them their education.

As authorities seek to ride out the third wave of infections on the back of improving vaccination coverage, there is still a massive lack of understanding about the condition, said Juno Sumorangkir, founder of the COVID Survivor Indonesia online community.
