The consultation questionnaire (Additional file 2) included data on patient age, sex, considerations of cause and consequences of the complaints, potential to recover, diagnoses, and issuing of sick notes, which was used as the outcome variable.

We calculated the total number of sick leaves issued, their average duration, and total days of ILI-associated sick leave for HCWs working under the 7-day and 2-day + reassessment policies during the pandemic period.
