The original article contains two minor typos that the authors wish to address:

1) In the sentence, "Notably, 9 (8.7%) reported alterations to sense of smell, with 5 (4%) reporting absent sense of smell, and 4 (3.8%) reporting a reduced sense of smell.", ‘4%' should instead read as ‘4.9%', and ‘3.8%' should instead read as ‘3.9%'.

2) In the sentence, “Notably, ~ 29% of respondents stated that it was not possible to know if the sense of smell was normal.”, ‘29%’ should instead read as ‘20%’.
