Covid-19
The number of reports of suspected occupational illnesses fell by more than 60 percent in 2023. The number of recognized occupational diseases also fell accordingly to 72,747 (minus 63.5 percent). This is according to preliminary figures published by the German Social Accident Insurance Institutions for the past year by their association, the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV).
The coronavirus pandemic is still reflected in the provisional accident and occupational disease figures that the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) has now published: in 2022, a total of 368,841 reports of suspected occupational diseases were received by the accident insurance institutions. According to a special survey by the DGUV, 294,446 suspected cases of COVID-19 were reported.
