While on the front line at the height of the COVID-19 health crisis, many healthcare workers are struggling to access care after contracting long COVID. Only 12% of healthcare workers who suffer from it have received rehabilitation care, according to a research report by the Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ).

Rehabilitation, counselling and occupational therapy, which were desired by 32% of healthcare workers who have contracted long COVID, were identified as the most beneficial, especially rehabilitation services to manage fatigue and daily activities.

The INSPQ survey indicates that nearly one in two healthcare workers who contracted COVID-19 and developed the long form of the disease have been able to see a doctor. The most common symptoms of what INSPQ calls post-COVID-19 are fatigue, shortness of breath, concentration or memory problems and brain fog.
