Summary

This prospective cohort study (PRIME post-COVID) in the Netherlands assessed workforce exit and work productivity loss among adults with post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) compared to those who recovered or never had PCC. Using online questionnaire data from adults with positive COVID-19 tests between June 2020 and September 2022, the study categorized participants as PCC (not feeling recovered ≥3 months post-infection), Recovered, or Never PCC. The research found that PCC leads to significant workforce exit and work productivity loss, highlighting the substantial socioeconomic burden of long COVID beyond individual health impacts.
