Guidelines for a sustainable return to work with long COVID

Long coronavirus disease (COVID) is an umbrella term to describe prolonged health problems and symptoms that arise following COVID infection. It is affecting a large proportion of the working population and high rates of long-term work absence, detrimental to individuals, employers and economies. Return to work (RTW) is often difficult and incomplete. The Society of Occupational Medicine has produced detailed guidelines to try and achieve a sustained RTW, aimed at managers, employers, occupational health professionals and workers.
