The lesson here is that the returning workforce will need full support to re-integrate into a work-life. There will be a need for cross industry collaboration from HR departments, to councils, to health practitioners. It is imperative that we learn the lessons from Covid-19, which are that without health we have nothing; no economy, no society, no culture, and no sense of being.

There is another crucial factor to consider when it comes to the relationship between Covid-19 and air pollution, which is who will be affected by this relationship the most. This is crucial for recovery because those who already have experienced the worse effects of Covid-19 due to the places they live will be affected the most in the recovery process, i.e. it will take them longer to recover.

This report is to help frame Covid-19 as an experience rather than the current binary framing of “sick or not sick”. The reason this is necessary is to identify the different solutions, resources, strategies required for an equitable recovery, so no one is left behind.
