This website is regularly updated to provide the disability community with information about rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and how they apply to the coronavirus (COVID-19) and long COVID. The resources are based on information from known national, federal, and state sources. Accessibility cannot be guaranteed for external links.
