Howden offers specialist service to support workers with ‘Long Covid’
One year on since the start of the pandemic, many employers are considering how to support workers with ‘Long Covid,’ as rising numbers of employees are experiencing ongoing symptoms, says Cheryl Brennan, Executive Director for Health and Benefits at Howden Employee Benefits & Wellbeing.
The Office for National Statistics[i] revealed that around one in five people who tested positive for COVID-19 had symptoms that lasted for five weeks or longer, and one in 10 had symptoms that lasted for 12 weeks or more. Some are still experiencing severe ongoing symptoms nearly a year later.
