In the published article, the reference (1) in “These dynamics were observed for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (7), rhinovirus infections (1), hand, foot, and mouth disease (2), norovirus gastroenteritis (8), and influenza (9). As children were predominantly affected (1, 7, 8), concerns arose that this phenomenon would appear in other infectious diseases, like rotavirus gastroenteritis or chickenpox as well (10)” was incorrectly specified as “Ullrich, A, Schranz, M, Rexroth, U, Hamouda, O, Schaade, L, Diercke, M, et al. Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated non-pharmaceutical interventions on other notifiable infectious diseases in Germany: an analysis of national surveillance data during week 1-2016 - week 32-2020. Lancet Reg Health Eur. (2021) 6:100103. doi: 10.1016/j.lanepe.2021.100103.” In the above mentioned sentences it should be replaced by “Maison, N, Peck, A, Illi, S, Meyer-Buehn, M, von Mutius, E, Hübner, J, et al. The rising of old foes: impact of lockdown periods on “non-SARS-CoV-2” viral respiratory and gastrointestinal infections. Infection. (2022) 50:519–24. doi: 10.1007/s15010-022-01756-4.”
