Frontline Workers In the Era of COVID-19<\/h4>\n

Within the last year, COVID-19 has flipped our world upside down, and we\u2019ve relied on our essential workers to keep things moving more than ever before. Nurses, doctors, teachers, grocery store clerks, delivery drivers and so many more have risked their own health to serve those of us who are sheltering in place or quarantined, and take care of those who become ill. If you are one of these frontline heroes, thank you.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Risk Factors<\/h4>\n

Frontline workers spend long hours on their feet, which is a significant risk factor for Chronic Venous Disease (CVD)<\/a>. Symptoms of CVD such as tired, achy and swollen legs are common complaints amongst people sitting or standing at work for prolonged periods of time. However, many do not realize that there is another, sometimes fatal condition that can develop from prolonged sitting or standing \u2013 blood clots. Nearly a million people in the U.S. alone are affected by blood clots each year. And contracting COVID-19 may increase this risk due to clotting problems associated with the virus.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tips to Stay Healthy<\/h4>\n

Fortunately, there are some simple steps frontline workers can take to increase comfort and minimize risk. Wearing medical compression stockings (MCS), combined with intermittent movement, can reduce or help prevent leg discomfort and the development of blood clots.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
