Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Day

If COVID-19 remains – dealing with affected individuals in everyday working life

An impulse from KARIN BLUME, BEM consultant, life coach

Long Covid often has the same effects as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). This also poses a particular challenge in the workplace, as these are conditions that have long been under-recognized and are often difficult to diagnose.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of people affected has been steadily rising. Symptoms are varied and manifest themselves very differently from person to person—ranging from persistent fatigue to cognitive impairments. This makes it particularly challenging to address the issue appropriately in a professional setting.
