Sociodemographic characteristics included age, gender, highest level of education (≤ primary, secondary, ≥ tertiary education), marital status (single, married, divorced/separated, widowed), and employment status (employed, unemployed, student, retired/sick-paid). Also, the number of rooms per person living in the household was calculated by dividing the house size (number of rooms) by the number of people living in it. Health-related covariates included positive diagnosis of the COVID-19 (Y/N) and the presence of chronic physical conditions assessed using 7-item checklists that included diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, chronic hepatic diseases, immunological diseases, respiratory diseases not caused by COVID-19, and “other” [34]. The answers to these questions were summed and the variable was operationalized as none, 1, and ≥ 2.
