One in 4 workers still fears catching COVID-19 at work, although the percentage has continued to drop steadily in the latest Gallup poll.
Twenty-six percent of employed adults expressed concern, down from 33% in July and 36% a year ago. The rate has declined steadily from a high of 51% in July 2020, Gallup reported.
“Concern about exposure to COVID-19 at work continues to be more pronounced among women, Democrats, education workers and healthcare workers, than it is among their counterparts,” the pollster said.
The latest poll found that 38% of Democrats, 40% of education workers, 34% of healthcare workers and 33% of women are very or moderately concerned about catching COVID at work.
