Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Collection of aggregated data are allowed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Concerning the individual mortality data, although GDPR does not apply to the personal data of deceased persons, the researchers notified the Belgian Data Protection Authority. Collection of individual data was authorized by the Belgian Data Protection Authority. The data collection for the Clinical survey was retrospective in nature as Sciensano retrieved data from records of patients hospitalized with COVID-19. As such, the Clinical survey was approved by the ethical committee of Ghent University Hospital (BC-07507). A letter of information for the patient on the Clinical survey, the storage period, the right to examine and correct own data and the contact details of the person to contact to exercise those rights was sent to all data providers. All data retrieved from the online surveys are saved on a secured server of Sciensano.
