    Strengths and limitations: Our study has several strengths. Burnout is a well recognized psychological consequence of working in the healthcare section and its impact on staff physical and emotional health, patient safety, and quality of care is documented. The instrument used in this study is well validated across geographical areas. We used a relatively large sample with an acceptable response rate. This study also faces some limitations. Although we tried to consider several personal (e.g. marital status and having dependent children) and work-related parameters (e.g. workload, job category), our study might have failed to deal with all confounding factors. We specifically referred to COVID-19 in our questions; however, a comparison with other clinicians or the general population has not been performed and we cannot claim that this level of burnout is solely attributable to COVID-19 pandemic. Suggestions for future research: Other studies, using qualitative methods, are necessary to delve into the reasons for this observed phenomenon. In-depth interviews can bring important issues into consideration, which can be the subject of further studies. The necessity of implementation and evaluation of various measures and strategies to overcome this high prevalence of burnout among staff, through interventional studies, cannot be overemphasized. Last but not least, further assessment of the long term sequel of COVID-19 pandemic through follow up studies deserves particular attenti...
