The COVID-19 pandemic has changed everyone's lives in one way or another. For some people the battle continues to rage on every day. Long Covid or Long Haul Covid can last years in those that got infected with COVID-19. These symptoms can affect every aspect of their life, and the reason why is elusive.
Yale New Haven Health's Dr. Erica Spatz is an Associate Professor of Cardiology and Associate Professor of Epidemiology (Chronic Diseases), Director of the Preventative Cardiovascular Health program and investigator for the center of outcomes and research and evaluation. She joined me with two of her patients to discuss the chronic conditions that both nof them continue to suffer from as the result of COVID. Hannah is a nurse who must work at a reduced schedule due to her debilitating serious health issues from COVID 19, and Christine can no longer work at all due to the serious respiratory issues she continues to experience. Their stories are heart breaking and important to hear.
Dr. Spatz thinks that CT Paid Leave is a big help and it gives a peace of mind for those patients continuing to work while suffering from long covid symptoms.
