The agency also revealed plans to study long-COVID.

For those who require hospitalization, the agency suggests health care providers consider using low-dose anticoagulants to prevent blood clots, as well as placing patients who receive non-invasive supplemental oxygen on their stomachs to increase oxygen flow

The agency noted the guidelines are "a living document, updated regularly as more data becomes available." The update comes on the same day WHO announced it was working with Moderna to accelerate approval for its COVID-19 shot for emergency use listing
