Yahoo! Life said in a report that the disease s long list of symptoms also includes a wide range of complications, including a permanent COVID-19 symptom.

It led readers across the U.S. to believe that the new bill was a national law applying to all children 11 years old and older. But it is worth noting that there is no such federal law in existence.
