An Indiana-born federal judge , who Donald Trump painted as biased against him because of his immigration stance , said he will make a ruling next Thursday in a lawsuit that could block construction of a border wall with Mexico . Judge Gonzalo Curiel heard arguments Friday on a lawsuit from the state of California and advocacy groups that a border wall with Mexico must go through normal environmental reviews , which could cause major delays . According to attorneys for the Center for Biological Diversity , one of the advocacy groups in the lawsuit , Judge Curiel asked both sides to submit more information by Tuesday before he makes a ruling two days later . The Trump administration wants Curiel to dismiss the challenges , and wall opponents want him to immediately rule in their favor . Trump repeatedly criticized Curiel in 2016 as lawsuits against Trump University neared trial , suggesting that the judge 's Mexican heritage meant he could not be impartial in the fraud cases . Trump settled for $ 25 million shortly after winning the election , without admitting wrongdoing . Curiel , who was forced out of his home and needed around-the-clock protection when he prosecuted Mexican drug kingpins in the 1990s , was unfazed by Trump 's criticism during the campaign , said Gregory Vega , a former U.S. attorney in San Diego and longtime friend . `` He 's had a credible threat made on his life . I do n't think when he was called names , I do n't think that really bothered him , '' said Vega . The Center for Biological Diversity was first to sue over the wall , with three other groups -- Sierra Club , Defenders of Wildlife and the Animal Legal Defense Fund -- later filing a lawsuit . California Attorney General Xavier Becerra , a Democrat , was close behind , and Curiel consolidated all three cases into one . At issue is a 2005 law that gave the Homeland Security secretary broad powers to waive dozens of laws requiring environmental and other reviews , including the National Environmental Policy Act , Clean Air Act and Endangered Species Act . The reviews are time-consuming and subject to prolonged legal challenges . The Trump administration has issued three waivers since August , two to build barriers in parts of California and one in part of New Mexico . President George W. Bush 's administration issued the previous five waivers . California and the advocacy groups contend the administration 's authority to waive environmental reviews expired . The Center for Biological Diversity argues in its lawsuit that the 2005 law `` can not reasonably be interpreted to exempt compliance with the waived laws in perpetuity . '' Local California argues that the powers expired in 2008 , a deadline set by Congress to have barriers on at least 700 miles . Barriers now blanket 654 miles , but additional layers bring the total above the congressional requirement . The Trump administration argues that the powers are still in effect and that Curiel , or any judge , ca n't overrule Congress . Trump has insisted on $ 25 billion for border security measures as part of an immigration deal that would include a path to citizenship for 1.8 million people . A proposal by Customs and Border Protection calls for spending $ 18 billion over 10 years to extend barriers to nearly half the 2,054-mile border . One of the administration 's environmental waivers is for San Diego , where private contractors recently built eight imposing prototypes to guide designs for future construction .

Dec 20 ( Reuters ) - Sherborne Investors ( SIGC.L ) , led by activist investor Edward Bramson , has turned its attention to Navient Corp ( NAVI.O ) after failing in its attempt to overhaul British banking giant Barclays ( BARC.L ) . One of Sherborne 's funds has built a stake of about 16 % in United States-based Navient , which provides student loan management services , Sherborne said on Monday . The stake makes Sherborne Navient 's biggest investor , ahead of mutual fund manager Vanguard Group , which holds a 10.66 % interest , Refinitiv data shows . Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com In response , Navient launched a shareholder rights plan - a defensive strategy enabling existing investors to purchase additional shares at a discount - that would make it more expensive for Sherborne to gain more than 20 % of stock . Shares in Navient fell 6 % . `` Navient is committed to engaging in constructive dialogue with all of our investors and we welcome their perspectives , '' said Jack Remondi , president and CEO of Navient . `` We also want to ensure investors are able to realize the full long-term value of their investment and receive fair and equal treatment . '' Sherborne ran a long but unsuccessful campaign for change at Barclays , which included efforts to unseat Jes Staley as chief executive and scale back its investment bank . read more Staley left Barclays last month to contest a regulatory investigation into how he described his past links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein . Bramson had previously demanded Staley 's removal over the ties prior to abandoning his activist campaign . read more Sherborne disclosed in August that it had picked a new target company , without disclosing its name .

Spotify and Genius Collaboration : Displaying lyrics and facts on your screen Spotify team up with Genius ( previously known as Rap Genius ) to provide a feature that enables users to show music lyrics , along with annotations of facts and meaning on their screen . According to Fortune , the partnership was first officially announced with the release of a special playlist on Tuesday . The playlist , titled Behind the Lyrics : Hip Hop , consists popular rap songs . The collaboration project , called Fact Tracks , works similarly with Genius . Genius Media Group Inc. has been providing users with their collection of song lyrics , along with their line-by-line interpretations and facts . Genius 's annotations to the song lyrics are provided by users , and sometimes the artists . Selena Gomez is among other artists who once collaborate to give further facts and interpretations to their own music . At first , Genius started with rap music , but now have expanded to review and share pop music as well . In their first playlist together , Spotify and Genius have showcased and worked with Pusha T , Tinashé , and Diplo . Although the collaboration 's first playlist revolves around hip hop music , their second playlist together will be titled `` Behind the Lyrics ( HITS ) '' , according to TIME . By doing this , Spotify and Genius seek to provide a connection between the artists and their listeners . The collaboration encourages artists to take part in annotating their own music so that listeners can learn about the meaning and facts of the music they listen to and understand the song better . Fact Tracks is often regarded as a match to Apple Music 's feature called Connect . They share the same idea to connect artists and listeners , but differs in the method . Apple Music 's Connect shows feed of updates from the artists . Previously , Spotify has also formed partnership with Musixmatch , in which Musixmatch provides lyrics for Spotify songs , says The Verge . But Spotify clarifies that their new partnership with Genius is complementary to their collaboration with Musixmatch , and they will still remain partners for the projects to come . For now , Fact Tracks is only available for iOS and could only be installed on iPhone 5 and another Apple 's newer devices . Non-iOS users could enjoy the service via the desktop version . A Spotify representative already confirmed that the company will provide the service for other platforms , but the date is yet to be announced . Spotify and Genius are still working to develop their partnership . Genius announced to their community to stay tuned for exciting updates on how the two will create better and deeper music experiences for users .

Former Captain with Bristol County Sheriff ’ s Office Sentenced for Smuggling Profits to Portugal Defendant helped smuggle money overseas for the “ Codfather ” BOSTON – A former Captain with the Bristol County Sheriff ’ s Office was sentenced today in connection with helping Carlos Rafael , known as the Codfather in the fishing industry , and the owner of one of the largest commercial fishing businesses in the U.S. , smuggle the profits of his illegal overfishing scheme to Portugal . Jamie Melo , 46 , of North Dartmouth , Mass. , was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Denise J. Casper to one year of probation , with the first eight months to be served in home confinement . In June 2018 , Melo was convicted by a federal jury of one count of conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States and one count of structuring the export of monetary instruments . The jury acquitted Melo of one count of bulk cash smuggling . During the trial , evidence showed that while at Logan International Airport Melo asked his friends and travel companions to carry envelopes of cash for Rafael on a flight to the Azores in Portugal . At the time , Melo was an Administrative Captain with the Bristol County Sheriff ’ s Office and was traveling to the Azores with Rafael for a charity event sponsored by the Bristol County Sheriff ’ s Office . Prior to the flight , Melo asked three of his travel companions to follow him into the men ’ s bathroom at Logan Airport before going through the TSA Security Checkpoint . In the bathroom , Melo distributed four envelopes of cash to his companions , taking one for himself . Two days after arriving in Portugal , bank records demonstrate that Rafael deposited $ 76,000 in U.S. currency into his Portuguese bank account . United States Attorney Andrew E. Lelling ; Harold H. Shaw , Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation , Boston Field Division ; Mark Tasky , Special Agent in Charge of the Department of Homeland Security , Office of Inspector General , Office of Investigations , Philadelphia Field Office ; and Kristina O ’ Connell , Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service ’ s Criminal Investigation in Boston , made the announcement today .

WHO agrees to launch talks on pact to tackle pandemics The World Health Organization ( WHO ) agreed on Wednesday to launch negotiations on an international pact to prevent and control future pandemics at a time when the world is gearing up to battle the new Omicron variant of coronavirus . Such an agreement to beef up measures against pandemics is expected to be ready in May 2024 , covering issues from data sharing and genome sequencing of emerging viruses to equitable distribution of vaccines and drugs derived from research . `` The adoption of this decision is cause for celebration and a cause for hope that we all need , '' WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told the meeting of health ministers . `` Of course there is still a long road ahead . There are still differences of opinion about what a new accord could or should contain , '' he said , calling for continued cooperation . In the meantime , countries should abide by the WHO 's 2005 International Health Regulations , he said . The decision , entitled `` The World Together , '' was adopted by consensus at a special assembly of the 194 nations that are members of the UN health body , drawing applause at the end of a three-day meeting . `` The text before us is the product of extensive discussions , of frank exchanges and of compromises , '' said Australia 's ambassador Sally Mansfield , who co-chaired the working group . The European Union ( EU ) had pushed for agreement on an international legally binding treaty , along with about 70 countries , but Brazil , India and the United States were among those reluctant to commit to a treaty , diplomats said . `` We call for an ambitious process in developing this treaty - let us all demonstrate our multilateral commitment and engagement towards a binding instrument , '' Ambassador Lotte Knudsen , head of the EU delegation to the United Nations in Geneva , said in a statement on Wednesday . The United States welcomed the decision saying in a statement : `` This momentous step represents our collective responsibility to work together to advance health security and to make the global health system stronger and more responsive . '' More than 262.22 million people have been reported infected with SARS-CoV-2 , the virus responsible for COVID-19 , and 5.46 million killed since it emerged in China in December 2019 . The WHO says China has still not shared some of its early data that might help pinpoint the origin of the virus . China said on Monday that it was ready to work on developing a new international agreement which it hoped would avoid `` politicization , stigmatization and instrumentalisation .

Attorney General Holder Announces Next Steps to Address Concerns Regarding the City of Ferguson and St. Louis County Police Departments Attorney General Eric Holder announced today that the Justice Department has launched two initiatives to address concerns about police services in the city of Ferguson and in St. Louis County , Missouri . First , in addition to the ongoing criminal civil rights investigation , the Civil Rights Division has opened a civil pattern or practice investigation into allegations of unlawful policing by the City of Ferguson Police Department ( FPD ) . Second , the Attorney General announced that the Community Oriented Policing Services ( COPS ) Office has launched a Collaborative Reform Initiative with the St. Louis County Police Department ( SLCPD ) . “ The Department of Justice is working across the nation to ensure that the criminal justice system is fair , constitutional and free of bias , ” said Attorney General Holder . “ The interventions in Missouri are an important part of that commitment . While there is much work left to do , we feel confident that there are solutions to any issues we find and that community trust in law enforcement can be restored and maintained . Ferguson and St. Louis County are not the first places that we have become engaged to ensure fair and equitable policing and they will not be the last . The Department of Justice will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that the Constitution has meaning for all communities. ” The pattern or practice investigation will look at whether officers of the Ferguson Police Department have engaged in systemic violations of the Constitution or federal law . The investigation will focus on the Ferguson Police Department ’ s use of force , including deadly force ; stops , searches and arrests ; discriminatory policing ; and treatment of detainees inside Ferguson ’ s city jail by Ferguson police officers . The department will consider all relevant information , particularly the efforts that FPD has undertaken to ensure compliance with federal law , and the experiences and views of the community . Over the past five fiscal years , the Civil Rights Division has opened over 20 pattern or practice investigations into police departments across the country , which is more than twice as many as were opened in the previous five fiscal years . The division is enforcing 14 agreements to reform law enforcement practices at agencies both large and small . These agreements have already resulted in tangible changes in these communities by ensuring constitutional policing , enhancing public safety and making the job of delivering police services safer and more effective . The investigation is being conducted by attorneys and staff from Civil Rights Division . They will be assisted by experienced law enforcement experts . The department encourages anyone wishing to provide relevant information to contact the department at 1-855-856-2132 , or via email at community.ferguson @ usdoj.gov . The COPS Collaborative Reform Technical Assistance process with the SLCPD is a voluntary process that will include an open , independent and objective assessment of key operational areas of the police department , such as training , use of force , handling mass demonstrations , stops , searches , arrests , and fair and impartial policing . The assessment will include the SLCPD police academy which trains officers for many police departments in the region , including the FPD . The findings of this assessment , and recommendations to address any deficiencies that it uncovers , will be provided in a public report and shared with the community . Additionally , SLCPD Chief Jon Belmar has requested that COPS conduct an after action report on the SLCPD ’ s response to the protests following the shooting of Michael Brown . The Collaborative Reform process is an initiative in which the COPS Office , in partnership with a designated technical assistance provider and subject matter experts , works with a law enforcement agency to assess an issue that affects police and community relationships . Grounded in the principles of constitutional policing and procedural justice , it is a means to organizational transformation through an analysis of policies , practices , training , and tactics around a specific issue that can jeopardize an agency ’ s legitimacy within its community . It is not a short term solution for a serious deficiency , but a long term strategy that identifies the issues within an agency that affect public trust and offers recommendations on how to improve the issue and enhance the relationship between the police and the community . The Collaborative Reform process was initially launched in 2011 . The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was the first agency to participate and complete the process , which resulted in the adoption of over 75 recommendations regarding the use of force . The COPS Office is currently working with the Philadelphia and Spokane police departments with this process . “ Today we are launching a comprehensive review of the Ferguson Police Department to assess whether police practices are constitutional and fair in Ferguson , ” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Molly Moran for the Civil Rights Division . “ We are encouraged by the pledge of cooperation from Mayor Knowles and Chief Jackson , and we look forward to working with them as our process moves forward. ” “ The recent disturbances in Ferguson have revealed significant mistrust between the community and police agencies throughout the county , including the St. Louis County Police Department , ” said COPS Director Davis . “ The county has expressed a strong desire to take steps to create a relationship of trust and to ensure fairness and equity in its policing practices , and I applaud St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar for seeking technical assistance and agreeing to the Collaborative Reform process . The advancements that will be made through this effort will not only benefit the St. Louis county police department ; they will serve as a model for all police agencies in the region and throughout the nation. ” The department is also conducting in a thorough , fair and independent criminal investigation into the circumstances of the fatal shooting of Michael Brown on in Ferguson on Aug. 9 , 2014 . Although the department is working cooperatively with the local investigators , the federal investigation supplements , but does not supplant , the St. Louis County Police Department ’ s investigation into the shooting incident . The initiatives announced today are also separate from the ongoing current criminal investigations related to the death of Michael Brown . The Civil Rights Division has an ongoing , separate investigation of the St. Louis County Juvenile Court to determine whether it engages in patterns or practices of violations of young people ’ s rights . The section is assessing whether there are violations of due process , equal protection or access to counsel . Anyone wishing to provide information related to that investigation can email the department at Community.StLouis @ usdoj.gov or call toll free 855-228-2151 . The Justice Department has taken similar steps involving a variety of state and local law enforcement agencies , both large and small , in jurisdictions throughout the United States using its authority under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 , the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 , and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . Under Attorney General Holder ’ s leadership , more investigations have resulted in comprehensive , court-overseen agreements to fundamentally change the law enforcement agency ’ s police practices than in any other five-year period in the department ’ s history .

No word on how long northbound Inkster Road in Bloomfield will be closed after failed bank Motorists who travel northbound Inkster Road in Bloomfield Township will continue to need another route as road commission crews work to repair the road after a bank failed . The Road Commission for Oakland County discovered late afternoon June 15 that a failed bank had occurred on the road just north of 14 Mile on the Bloomfield Township/West Bloomfield border . That closure has left northbound Inkster between 14 Mile and Maple closed , forcing traffic to find a detour . Cindy Dingell , a spokeswoman for the RCOC , said crews are evaluating the damage and determining what types of repairs need to be done in the area . `` That bank is starting to erode on the side of the road . Everything drains to that side of the road , '' she said . `` That probably contributed to the erosion of the road . '' There 's no timetable for when repairs would be complete , but the fix will take some time , Dingell said . That will be determined once crews can evaluate the condition of the road and begin repairs . While northbound Inkster will remain closed , the southbound portion of the road remains open to traffic heading to the West Bloomfield/Farmington Hills border . Motorists traveling northbound can detour going west on 14 Mile to northbound Middlebelt before heading east on Maple . In addition to the repair work , Dingell said Inkster between 14 Mile and Lone Pine is on the commission 's preservation overlay list for this year and will see some improvements along certain rough patches along the road . `` It will be done this year , '' Dingell said . `` We will not be doing that project until we get that bank issue stabilized . '' Other area road work starting The stretch of Inkster between 14 Mile and Maple is n't the only stretch of that road that 's seeing work this summer .

That work is expected to substantially wrap up by mid- to late August . In addition , Consumers Energy has been granted a permit by the RCOC to close Middlebelt between 11 Mile and 12 Mile for utility work . This closure is to allow the company to install a high-pressure gas main , work which began several days ago and is expected to wrap in mid-August . Motorists are advised to take 11 Mile to Orchard Lake to 12 Mile before returning to Middlebelt as a detour . In Wayne County , crews have begun work along Inkster between Six Mile and Seven Mile on the Livonia/Redford Township border . That project consists of reconstruction of the road , including hot mix asphalt cold milling and resurfacing , improving sidewalk ramps and signage and marking work . One lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained during the project , which is scheduled to run until late September , according to the city of Livonia .

While new research suggests that symptoms linked to long COVID could vary depending on which COVID-19 variant a person is infected with , infectious disease experts say they are not completely convinced this is the case . The data is based on a study involving 428 long COVID patients treated at a post-COVID outpatient service between March 2020 and June 2021 , while the original strain of SARS-CoV-2 and the Alpha variant were both in circulation . It suggests that those who contracted the Alpha variant encountered different neurological and emotional symptoms when compared with those who were infected with the original strain of SARS-CoV-2 . When the Alpha variant was the dominant strain , there were more instances of muscle aches and pains , insomnia , brain fog , and anxiety and depression among long COVID patients . Meanwhile , symptoms such as the loss of smell , difficulty swallowing and impaired hearing were less common . However , infectious disease experts question the accuracy of the study , and point to difficulties in assigning specific long COVID symptoms to different variants . Dr. Christopher Carlsten is the head of respiratory medicine at the University of British Columbia . While he said he commends any effort to better understand COVID-19 , he is not yet convinced that the Alpha variant results in a worse COVID-related syndrome than other variants . “ It 's a retrospective observational study , which always raises questions of bias in terms of whether [ this ] is actually truly due to the Alpha variant , or is it due to some other factors that went along with the Alpha variant , ” he told CTVNews.ca in a phone interview on March 30 . “ There 's so many variables changing in parallel that to pinpoint any one of those and claim that variable as the cause of some pattern is hazardous. ” The study was published in an early news release ahead of the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases conference , which will take place later this month . Looking at the study ’ s design , it also appears as though researchers did not confirm which variant of the virus caused infection in which patients , said Dr. Nazeem Muhajarine , an epidemiologist at the University of Saskatchewan . Instead , patients were assessed based on whether they were infected when the original strain dominated , or while the Alpha variant was dominant . This raises doubts around the accuracy of the study , Muhajarine said . “ That 's a big limitation , ” he told CTVNews.ca on March 30 in a phone interview . “ You really do n't know unless you actually take a specimen and you do that genomic sequencing and find out [ whether ] this person was infected with Alpha [ or ] the original virus . “ I 'm a little bit unconvinced that specific lingering symptoms can be associated with a specific variant of SARS-CoV-2. ” However , Muhajarine said this remains a key area of interest among COVID-19 researchers and that larger-scale studies will be necessary to get a clearer picture of the causes and effects of long COVID . The authors of the study also state that more research is necessary to better understand long COVID , as much still remains unknown about the condition . WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT LONG COVID SO FAR ? Long COVID , otherwise known as post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 ( PASC ) , occurs when symptoms of an initial COVID-19 infection persist for longer than about 12 weeks after infection , said Muhajarine . At this point , experts would generally expect symptoms to have cleared . As a result , someone with long COVID would not necessarily test positive for the virus while using a PCR or rapid antigen test , Carlsten said . “ When that symptomatology persists beyond the infection , meaning the bug is no longer active to the extent that we can measure it and you continue to have symptoms…that 's what I would consider long COVID , ” said Carlsten . As described in the study , long COVID has been diagnosed in both young and old patients , as well as those generally considered healthy and those with underlying health conditions . A recent study suggests that as much as about 30 per cent of those infected with COVID-19 will go on to develop long-term symptoms . However , the exact percentage is still unclear as population-level studies assessing the prevalence of long COVID have not yet surfaced , said Muhajarine . Still , the condition is real and has the potential to affect a significant number of people , Carlsten said . “ Even modest percentages of patients with COVID having long-term symptoms is a lot of people , ” he said . “ Rather than obsessing too much at this point about the exact percentage , it 's pretty clear that it 's a non-trivial percentage and that at a population level , that means lots of people. ” With the recent emergence of Omicron , the idea of long COVID developing in those infected with the latest variant of concern is a possibility , Carlsten said . “ The basic answer is yes – to me , there 's no question that Omicron can result in long COVID , ” said Carlsten . “ I think the question is how much and there I have the opposite answer , which is that I do n't know , and I do n't know that anyone can tell you at this point. ” Given that the world has only known about the Omicron variant for a few months , Muhajarine said more time is needed to determine the connection between Omicron and long COVID , as well as whether a different set of long COVID symptoms may be attached to this variant when compared to previous ones . “ We are just at that threshold in terms of whether Omicron leads to long COVID , and if it leads to more long COVID compared to the previous variants , ” he said . “ I think we have to give it some more weeks and months to really be able to say that because I think we are really at the cusp of even that definition of what is long COVID. ” According to Carlsten , the concept of different symptoms being linked to different COVID-19 variants is not a new one . This is due to slight differences in the amount and types of mutations held by each variant , which can trigger different symptoms to appear once a person is infected , said Muhajarine . However , these differences are not usually striking , Carlsten said . “ Over the course of the pandemic , there seems to be more similarities in the symptomatology related to COVID than differences by strain , ” he said . GENERALIZED SYMPTOMS A HURDLE FOR DIAGNOSIS Commonly reported symptoms of long COVID are shortness of breath , chronic fatigue , trouble sleeping , visual problems and brain fog . A spiking heart rate also appears to be linked to long COVID . One international study suggests as many as 203 symptoms could be connected to long COVID , the most common being fatigue , exhaustion and cognitive dysfunction . One of the challenges around understanding the cause of long COVID lies in the fact that many of the symptoms associated with it are rather generalized , Carlsten said . “ The fundamental vexing nature of long COVID is that there 's not a single symptom that is specific or even remotely specific , ” he said . “ They 're almost , by definition , symptoms that are very common to other illnesses and other medical problems. ” This also makes the condition exceedingly difficult to diagnose and treat , said Carlsten . “ The fundamentals of a diagnosis are that the more specific the characteristics , the easier it is to diagnose , ” said Carlsten . “ But because these are non-specific … it makes diagnosis more difficult , and treatment accordingly is difficult. ” There isn ’ t a single test used to diagnose long COVID , Muhajarine said , although certain tests can be used to identify common symptoms , including blood tests , heart rate and blood pressure checks , electrocardiograms and chest X-rays . It does not appear as though there is a single treatment or medication for long COVID either , he said , although experts have begun to try to tackle this question . So far , the focus appears to be on treating some of the symptoms linked to long COVID rather than the condition itself , Muhajarine said , which can involve patient rehabilitation to help with breathing and lung function , for example . The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in the United Kingdom , which provides national guidance to improve health care , has put forward a proposal for the management and treatment of long COVID that involves a tiered approach . This begins with patient-led rehabilitation based on self-care , and evolves into recovery guided by a general practitioner or specialist , depending on the severity of the condition . Muhajarine said he can see this being an effective approach to the management of long COVID in Canadian patients as well . ‘ AT THE STARTING GATE ’ OF MANAGING LONG COVID As restrictions continue to lift across parts of Canada , this might give people the idea that COVID-19 is in the past , but that is not the case Muhajarine said , especially when looking at the possibility of developing long COVID . As a result , Carlsten said , it is important to continue with efforts to better understand the condition . “ It 's a huge issue that we need to continue to try to understand , ” said Carlsten . “ I think we should persist in the research in spite of the fact that it has n't , in terms of long COVID , been incredibly revealing , because it is a massive population-level problem. ” Muhajarine also calls on health-care systems to open more clinical facilities that specialize in outpatient treatment for long COVID patients . Provinces such as Ontario and British Columbia have long COVID clinics in operation , but provinces such as Saskatchewan do not , Muhajarine said . “ We are still really at the starting gate of dealing with long COVID in this country , unfortunately , ” he said . “ We hear stories from people who are experiencing long COVID symptoms and they just feel that they are left high and dry to deal with this on their own . “ This is the legacy that acute COVID-19 is going to leave us with , and this is why we can not take COVID-19 lightly. ” Muhajarine is also calling on public health systems to build patient registries among those experiencing long COVID . By collecting data on these patients , including their medical history and details of previous infections , this can help better identify patterns that could be used to diagnose the condition more easily , he said . “ First of all , we can identify who is having these symptoms and … secondly , we can monitor them , ” said Muhajarine . “ We can understand who they are , where they live , what was their history like with COVID-19 , and what kind of services are utilizing . “ If long COVID is this big canvas that we need to paint , many places in Canada , including my own province , hardly have a dot of paint on the canvas. ” -- -- -- - WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE ABOUT OMICRON ?
