It directly affects first responders (police, firefighters, EMTs), healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, etc.), and other frontline workers who provided essential services during the COVID-19 pandemic or future pandemics. The task force - comprising 21 members including experts, healthcare workers with PTSD experience, and state officials - will study the prevalence of pandemic-related PTSD among these groups and develop recommendations for identification and treatment.
