Post-COVID-19 Conditions Among Health Workers: Prevalence and Occupational Impacts in a Thai University Hospital
The prevalence of health workers (HWs) experiencing post-COVID-19 conditions (PCCs) was 30.9% (95% CI 26.3 to 36.0), and more than half of the affected HWs experienced impacts on their work.
