North-West (Piemonte, Lombardia, Liguria, Valle d’Aosta). North-East (Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Emilia Romagna, Trentino). Center (Toscana, Umbria, Marche, Lazio). South (Abruzzo, Molise, Campania, Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria). Islands (Sicilia, Sardegna). Post hoc test = Tukey HSD. Not significant differences have been found between No Antiviral Drugs and Sociodemographic Variables, except for health status (Kruskal–Wallis = 13.347(3); p = 0.004).
