Does COVID mess with your DNA?

Lesson created by Lauren McAlpine using TED-Ed's lesson creatorVideo from SciShow YouTube channel

Let’s Begin…

As more and more are infected with COVID-19, there's a growing group of people who have what's called Long COVID, meaning they still have symptoms for weeks or months after getting sick. While we still don't know for sure the cause of Long COVID, there's a growing body of research that Long COVID may be the result of the virus messing with people's DNA. SciShow shares the progress we've made.

Create and share a new lesson based on this one.
