Declarations
:
: We obtained ethical clearance from Institutional Review Boards from the Georgian National Center for Disease Control and Public Health in Georgia (ref. no. 2019–014) and Tel Aviv University in Israel (ref. no. 0000016–1 from July 16, 2019). Ethical clearance in Tunisia was waived by the Tunisian National Medical Ethics Committee. All respondents provided oral informed consent prior to their participation in the study, as approved by the institutional review boards, since we considered written informed consent too official and a potential barrier for participation for a street survey that did not collect any personal identifiers or contact information. All methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations.
