A recent survey among Quebec healthcare workers demonstrated that the cumulative risk of developing long COVID from an acute infection is 17% and increases with each infection. The estimated prevalence of long COVID in this population was 5.6%. Other research places the global risk as high as 40% among healthcare workers who have contracted an acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Scores of teachers with “catastrophic” long Covid plan to launch a group legal challenge against the government, claiming pandemic policy failures led to them being infected at work.
