Sex was coded dichotomously such that 0 = male and 1 = female; three HCWs who preferred not to answer or selected third gender were not included in this model due to small numbers. Education was coded such that 0 = no degree program; 1 = degree program and 2 = advanced degree program; 7 HCWs with “other” responses were not included in this model due to small numbers. Positive Infection History was coded such that 0 = no infection history and/or did not get tested for COVID-19 and 1 = tested positive for COVID-19. Age was analyzed as a continuous variable; subjects provided their age in response to the question “How old are you?” HCWs = healthcare workers.
