Declarations
:
: The authors declare no competing interests.
: Study was conducted according the guidelines of Helsinki declaration. Informed consent was obtained from all participants. The proposal was reviewed as an add-on to a previously granted ethical approval by the Research and Ethic Committee of the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Enugu and was given a waiver as it only involved a brainstorming session among participants in a seminar. However, verbal consent was taken from the participants as approved by the Ethical Committee. This was considered appropriate as the participants were highly educated, mostly physicians who were to be trained on the current guideline for clinical management of COVID-19 in Nigeria. In addition, the study procedure only involved brainstorming sessions within a program that the participants were already part of. Participants were informed that they could freely withdraw from the study at any time, even after having consented initially, and this did not in any way affect their participation in the training.
