The impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 permeates all aspects of society worldwide. Initial medical reports and media coverage have increased awareness of the risk imposed on healthcare workers in particular, during this pandemic. However, the health implications of COVID-19 for the global workforce are multifaceted and complex, warranting careful reflection and consideration to mitigate the adverse effects on workers worldwide. Accordingly, our review offers a framework for considering this topic, highlighting key issues, with the aim to prompt and inform action, including research, to minimize the occupational hazards imposed by this ongoing challenge. We address respiratory disease as a primary concern, while recognizing the multisystem spectrum of COVID-19-related disease and how clinical aspects are interwoven with broader socioeconomic forces.
由严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2 引起的 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）影响遍及全球社会的各个方面。最初的医学报告和媒体报道提高了人们对这一流行病中特定医护人员所面临风险的认识。然而，COVID-19 对全球劳动力的健康影响是多方面且复杂的，需要仔细反思和考虑，以减轻对全球工人的不利影响。因此，我们的综述提供了一个考虑这一主题的框架，强调了关键问题，旨在促使并为行动提供信息，包括研究，以尽量减少这一持续挑战带来的职业危害。我们将呼吸道疾病作为主要关注点，同时认识到 COVID-19 相关疾病的多系统谱以及临床方面如何与更广泛的社会经济力量交织在一起。
