Post COVID-19 Restrictions Questionnaire

Dear colleagues,

In the COVID-19 era, which was marked by limitations of social isolation and strict protective measures and hygiene, we observed a sharp decrease in acute respiratory illnesses (other than COVID19) and a drop in exacerbations of chronic respiratory diseases.
Towards future removal of the restrictions, we would like to know if you would recommend to your patients to continue to adhere to some of the recommendations of the COVID-19 period to keep the benefits of reduced non COVID-19 respiratory infections.

Attached is an anonymous research questionnaire which takes only about 3 minutes to complete.

We thank you for your time and consideration in answering this questionnaire.
