There was a mistake in Table 1 as published. There is no need for “n (%)” to be next to: “education level completed,” or any of the “employment” options, or next to “impact of COVID-19” or the “(n)” next to “participant seen per visit day post-infection” since there is an “n (%)” now as a header at the top of the right column. The corrected Table 1 appears below.
