      Doctors are at high risk of corona virus infection (COVID-19) during pandemic. The&#xD;
      investigators are aiming to explore the emotions, perceived stressors, knowledge and coping&#xD;
      strategies of doctors who are working during COVID-19 pandemic in different specialties and&#xD;
      in different hospitals by a self assessment questionnaire that was designed and modified from&#xD;
      two previously published articles (mentioned in the references), including 7 sections with 88&#xD;

      Background&#xD;
&#xD;
      Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an infectious respiratory disease caused by a newly&#xD;
      discovered corona virus in December 2019, has been recognized as a serious threat to global&#xD;
      health. Since the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic in early March 2020, the WHO and the&#xD;
      Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been considered the most reliable&#xD;
      sources of information for the COVID-19 global pandemic. The CDC listed moderate to severe&#xD;
      asthma, especially if not well controlled, as high-risk for severe illness from COVID-19.&#xD;
&#xD;
      A large number of cases occurred among health care workers (HCW), which were contracted&#xD;
      within the health care facilities. Some of the HCWs even died from the COVID-19 disease.&#xD;
      Moreover, it was reported that unrecognized, asymptomatic patients transferred to their&#xD;
      family or close contacts. All these factors were alarming and potentially distressing for the&#xD;
      hospital staff who worked during the pandemic.&#xD;
&#xD;
      The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic in 2003 also involved disease&#xD;
      transmission to HCWs. Even though the fatality rates for SARS were lower than for COVID-19&#xD;
      infection, nonetheless, they were a cause of significant stress, emotional turmoil, and&#xD;
      concern for all the SARS healthcare providers.&#xD;
&#xD;
      The emotions, perceived stressors, complete knowledge assessment and coping strategies of&#xD;
      HCWs especially doctors during COVID-19 have not been explored. These issues were the&#xD;
      intended focus of the study.&#xD;
