Crude model included no covariates.

Full model included age, country of birth, employed as a healthcare worker, marital status, education, and health seeking behaviours during 2018-19 (ie, no. of primary care visits, no. of specialist outpatient visits, and days of inpatient stay), and prior comorbidities and treatments listed in supplement table S1.
