• Status: Completed Project

Description:

The project aimed to retrospectively interview SARS-CoV-2 infected employees about their infection, their occupational situation during the infection and the consequences of the infection.

For this purpose, a questionnaire was designed by the project sponsor, the Jena University Hospital (Universitätsklinikum Jena).

However, the survey could not be carried out as access to the personal data required for the survey remained unclear. In addition, a valid answer to the questions could not have been ensured due to the fact that the events took place too long ago and the associated uncertainties in the respondents' memory.

However, the questionnaire developed could provide a basis for the derivation of a future survey tool with reference to work-related investigations of infectious diseases.
