Assessment of post-SARS-CoV-2 fatigue among physicians working in COVID-designated hospitals in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Background: Fatigue has been observed after the outbreaks of several infectious diseases around the world. To explore the fatigue level among physicians working in COVID-19-designated hospitals in Bangladesh, a matched case‒control study was conducted on post-SARS-CoV-2 fatigue.

Method: In this study, 105 physicians diagnosed with COVID-19 who were declared cured at least 6 weeks before the interview date were recruited as cases, and the same number of age- and designation-matched healthy physicians were recruited as controls from the same hospital at a 1:1 ratio.
