Utilising a sample of 100 participants, including Covid-negative and Covid-positive teachers, various health indicators were assessed. Results show significant differences in depression, anxiety, stress, and somatic symptoms between the two groups. While perceived infectability displayed no significant difference, other factors such as germ aversion and physical health concerns varied significantly. The study underscores the need for tailored support strategies for school teacher’s post-pandemic. These findings provide crucial insights into the unique challenges faced by teachers and inform efforts to promote their well-being.
