Ethics approval and consent to participate
: This was an online survey open to all attendants of the European Congress of Microbiology and Infectious diseases. The survey was considered non-interventional research, posing the participants at minimal physical, psychological, social, economic, legal, or dignitary risk. The survey was completely anonymous and participation was voluntary. Participants’ identity was kept separately from their responses. The authors, therefore, deemed this study to be exempted from ethical approval.
