Results: The results of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that people older than 50 years and more than 20 years of work experience and low and medium experience in using personal protective equipment had a significantly lower resilience score (P<0.05). Also, the results of the analysis revealed that the individuals with experience of COVID-19 had significantly lower score of productivity (P<0.05). Moreover, the results showed that there was a significant positive correlation between resilience and productivity (r=0.249, P<0.05).
Conclusion: COVID-19 disease has reduced the resilience and productivity of workers. Therefore, adherence to health protocols in the workplace is necessary to reduce the risk of developing COVID-19.
