    In “Comparison of Virus Watch COVID-19 Positivity, Incidence, and Hospitalization Rates With Other Surveillance Systems: Surveillance Study” [1], the authors noted one error.

    Coauthor ACH was mistakenly linked to the fourth affiliation, which has now been removed from the author. The following affiliation was added:

    NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Health Analytics and Modelling, Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, School of Public Health, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom

    This will appear as the seventh affiliation and be attached to ACH, with any subsequent affiliations being renumbered accordingly.

    The correction will appear in the online version of the paper on the JMIR Publications website, together with the publication of this correction notice. Because this was made after submission to PubMed, PubMed Central, and other full-text repositories, the corrected article has also been resubmitted to those repositories.
