Ethnic Differences in Symptom Burden, Work and Daily Life: A Study of Long COVID Patients in Denmark
Ethnic minorities experienced a higher number and symptom burden of long COVID symptoms along with a higher risk of certain symptom categories, notably psychological symptoms. However, ethnic minorities had lower odds of being on sick leave. Additional research is needed into the explanations of the disparities identified in this study.
