The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has said two-thirds of nurses who have contracted and then recovered from Covid-19 are still experiencing post-viral fatigue.
Of the 545 respondents who said they had recovered from the virus, 497 stated they continued to experience symptoms, which also included mental health difficulties, headaches and breathing problems.
The organisation will present its findings to the Oireachtas Special Committee on Covid-19 Response this morning. Meanwhile, SIPTU has told politicians that it believes some healthcare workers did not declare symptoms of Covid-19 to their employers because they were worried about losing overtime and premiums if they were put on leave.
