Declarations
:
: All patient data were retrieved from regular infectious disease control activities from our medical records and were fully de-identified. The study protocol was exempt from formal medical-ethical approval under prevailing laws in the Netherlands, as it concerns a retrospective observational study using anonymous data only (as stated by the National Central Committee for Human Studies: ExternalRef removed and in the conduct of good behaviour in research). As such, no additional administrative permissions were required in order to use the required data, as it owned by our own public health service.
: Not applicable.
