In December 2022, China relaxed its strict COVID-19 policies, which was followed by outbreaks. Therefore, it is important to investigate post-COVID-19 symptoms in China to understand their prevalence and risk factors. This multicenter study examined post-COVID-19 symptoms among Chinese healthcare workers to better understand their epidemiology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Healthcare workers from seven hospitals who met specific COVID-19 and work criteria participated in an anonymous online survey conducted from 17 July to 19 August 2023.
