Occupational differences in the prevalence and severity of long-COVID: analysis of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Survey
Occupational differences in the prevalence and severity of long-COVID: analysis of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Survey

This is the first study to examine how prevalence of long-COVID and its impacts on functional capacity differ by industry and occupational groups.

Prevalence of self-reported long-COVID increased with time across all exposure groups and mostly followed SARS-CoV-2 infection trends; with the exception of professional occupations (eg, healthcare, education, scientific occupations) that demonstrated notable differences in the direction of odds of long-covid when compared with odds of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Those working in teaching and education, and social care industries showed the highest likelihood of having long-COVID symptoms. The exact same pattern was observed when analysis was performed using occupational groups. When we used Standard Occupational Classification groups, the likelihood was higher in Caring, leisure and other services.
