32% of workers diagnosed with COVID-19 went to the workplace even after the onset of symptoms, based on a cohort of 130 symptomatic COVID-19 cases in London. Compared to females, males were 66% less likely to attend the workplace after onset of COVID-19 symptoms. Age and occupation were not associated with workplace attendance after symptom onset.
