Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations of this study lie primarily on biases existing by the study design [15, 16] such as sampling bias, according to which the lack of internet access or social media profile excluded certain population subgroups from participation. Furthermore, this research is a cross-sectional study thus it can only provide a picture of a consecutive sample within a given timeframe. Neither validated scales nor instruments were utilized, thus measurement precision or errors cannot be estimated, despite the fact that numerous biases related to question forming were addressed. The sample demonstrated tendency towards male sex, a feature that presumably affected the outcome of regression analysis, as well as towards large urban centers as regards the area of permanent residence, post-secondary education and age below 70 years old. These features suggest that no conclusions can be drawn about population subgroups of different background and most importantly, about elderly people who are a medically vulnerable population and have been crucially hit in Europe by COVID-19 [21]. While this pandemic proceeds, health practitioners and government authorities worldwide are trying to profile COVID-19 through several approaches [4, 9]. Future research should primarily target on further investigation of public’s perception concerning the risk of COVID-19 transmission through asymptomatic carriers. Secondarily, the verbal frame of NPIs should be reassessed in order to be ensured that it is comprehe...
