The Impact of Post COVID Condition on the Workforce

COVID-19 continues to have a domino effect on global health and the economy, and the repercussions continue to pose challenges due to post-COVID condition (PCC), a chronic illness also known as Long COVID. PCC encompasses symptoms that last for 4 weeks or more after initial infection and cannot be attributed to any other diagnosis. This condition is marked by debilitating symptoms that significantly hinder an individual's ability to return to work and carry out daily activities, causing billions of dollars in lost wages and impacting our economy.
