After COVID-19

Returning to work or school

After COVID-19, some people feel well enough to go back to work or school quite soon. For others, it can take more time.

It can help to go back to work or school routines gradually while being mindful of your energy and other symptoms:

Talk to your employer about what might help, such as a gradual return to work, changing your work hours, or working from home.
Do work tasks that are easier for you to do as you recover.
Schedule time for breaks.
Plan with your principal or teachers for how to learn and do coursework at your own pace.
Think about your home-life responsibilities and how to find a balance of home and work or school during your recovery.
Learn more about returning to work or school after an illness or injury.
