WASHINGTON, July 27 — President Joe Biden said yesterday the White House is pushing for people with long-term symptoms of Covid-19 to be protected against discrimination, as he marked the anniversary of a landmark law for people with disabilities.

Nearly 57 million Americans had some form of disability in 2010, the US Census bureau reported.
