Good morning everyone, 
Has anyone come across or have any recommendations for fit for duty evaluations for firefighters after COVID-19?

I work with a few fire districts who have members that are anticipating returning to work after prolonged courses (several weeks / hospital stay) of COVID-19. 

What is a reasonable course of testing for these members? 
Exercise stress testing (based on risk factors, tolerance to activity after infection)? 
Pulmonary function testing with pulmonary? 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! 

Respectfully,
