Continuous variables are presented as median (IQR) (Mann-Whitney test). Categorical variables are expressed as number (percentages) (Chi-square or Yates’ continuity corrected chi-square test). aP values indicate differences between non-medical staff and medical staff. bP values indicate differences between non-frontline and frontline medical workers. P < 0·05 was considered statistically significant.
