The effect of Covid-19 on healthcare workers

Dr. Mirza, I wanted to ask you your views on how coronavirus has affected health care workers generally and also in the emergency department. Well, yes, obviously health care workers are on the front line and therefore exposed to COVID-19. And the evidence shows that many, many health care workers have been affected by it. And not just that, we're also finding out that actually a lot of these health care workers or in our patients actually end up having long COVID. COVID seems to be a very interesting virus really because as we learn more about it we realize it's not just affecting your lungs it's a total body issue here from head to toe and if one were going to invent a virus to do maximal damage then this would be it.
