This commentary addresses the post-COVID-19 syndrome and its implications for workers' health. Post-COVID-19 syndrome consists of a set of physiological and psychological symptoms resulting from SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection, which occur continuously for several weeks or months. Therefore, it is an affectation that has multiple consequences for the recovery of people's health, and compromises the ability to perform daily activities, including work, whether in person or remotely. Although several studies have been published so far, and several long-term consequences on people's health have been demonstrated, most have not adequately delved into the implications for the health of workers, their families, and the socioeconomic cost for governments. The aim of this paper is to highlight this public health issue and to encourage more specialized research.
这篇评论探讨了新冠病毒后综合征及其对工人健康的影响。新冠病毒后综合征是由 SARS-CoV-2(新冠病毒)感染引起的一系列生理和心理症状,持续数周或数月。因此,这是一种影响,对人们的健康恢复有多种后果,并损害了人们进行日常活动的能力,包括工作,无论是亲自还是远程进行。尽管到目前为止已经发表了几项研究,并已经证明了对人们健康的许多长期影响,但大多数研究都没有充分探讨对工人及其家庭的健康的影响,以及对政府的社会经济成本的影响。本文的目的是强调这一公共卫生问题,并鼓励进行更多的专门研究。
