One mysterious study respondent said Covid-19 “totally demolished” their vocation as a movement dealer, which they had gone through 15 years building.

Someone else said the pandemic had been distressing.

“Each time I contract a bug or have runny nose I am approached to remain off work until I get a negative Covid test. I immediately ran out of wiped out leave so then don’t get paid for those days. Additionally yearly leave denied during lockdowns.”

Overwhelmingly, 94 percent of individuals upheld the public authority’s arranged expansion in debilitated leave from five to 10 days.
