Following publication of the original article [1], the authors flagged that the name provided for the 4th author had been misspelled; the 4th author was (incorrectly) spelled as ‘Eyob Alemayehu Gebreyohanns’.

Please note that the correct spelling is ‘Eyob Alemayehu Gebreyohannes’.

The spelling has since been corrected in the original article and, furthermore, is provided in the author list of this correction.

The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused.
