Although the WHO released its first clinical definition of Long Covid in October of 2021, there is still no definitive agreement on what it is or how to officially diagnose it–a common pain point for clinicians, patients and insurers alike. The majority of scientific literature cites the CDC’s definition, often describing a syndrome with persisting symptoms at least 4 weeks following a Covid-19 diagnosis. 

Anyone who has had Covid-19 can potentially become a Long Covid patient, even individuals who had mild cases. As a result, employees affected by Long Covid could become one of the largest groups of employees requiring accommodations and inquiring about disability insurance.

Using recommended strategies for a safe working environment to prevent Covid-19 infections and transmission is the best way employers can help prevent Long Covid in their employees.

Although symptoms of Covid-19 and Long Covid vary, headaches are common for both patient groups.
