My #COVID contribution post to the void: I sit on the Employee Wellness Committee (EWC) at my institution. We surveyed employees during summer 2020 regarding stress and health, and then again in fall 2022, during which I added a section about COVID using the Household Pulse survey questions.

Most people would have had only one infection by this point and we were a highly vaccinated inst. Results from 2022 showed that about 20% of employees reported having long COVID (LC), consistent with CDC estimates.

Employees who reported LC also reported more days of poor mental health (using CDC Healthy Days items). Employees who reported having had a COVID infection reported more days of poor physical health than did those who had not been infected yet.
