This🇨🇭study shows that within one year of COVID-19 diagnosis, the presence of self-reported #Covid-19 related symptoms was associated with a reduction in work ability, with 1 in 15 experiencing occupational changes and 1.6% leaving work completely. 👇 thelancet.com/journals/lanep…

Post COVID-19 condition, work ability and occupational changes in a population-based cohort

These findings highlight the need for providing support and interdisciplinary interventions to individuals affected by PCC to help them maintain or regain their work ability and productivity.

2/3 In our population-based study, we found that work ability was relevantly reduced in people affected by #LongCovid (post COVID-19 condition). Almost 6% of those had occupational changes as a result, and 1.6% could not work anymore. authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…
