This is the twenty-fifth publication in our series of information bulletins produced by the Central Statistics Office (CSO), that aim to provide insights into those who have either died from or contracted COVID-19, by using data from the Computerised Infectious Disease Reporting (CIDR) provided to the CSO by the Health Protection Surveillance Centre and data from the HSE’s Swiftcare (A2i) and COVID Care Tracker (CCT) systems. This Bulletin covers the period from 28 February 2020 to 19 February 2021.

Deaths

For the week ending 19 February, 146 deaths were recorded among confirmed COVID-19 cases.

Hospitalisations

Hospitalisations have been decreasing since the peak of 1,367 in the week ending 15 January and were 301 in the week ending 19 February. ICU admissions have also decreased from the peak of 127 in the week ending 08 January to seven in the week ending 19 February. (Note: These figures may need to be adjusted if someone’s condition worsens as there is a time lag between onset of symptoms and hospitalisation.)

Contacts

The average number of contacts per positive case per week was three in the week ending 19 February, down from six contacts per case in the week ending 25 December. This implies details of more than 13,000 close contacts were recorded in the week.

In this bulletin the CSO includes in Table 6 analysis of the average number of close contacts per case by County. From Figure 3, the range of average close contacts per case in the week ending 12 February can be seen, from an average of two contacts per case in Mayo to four per case in Offaly.

Outbreaks

Public Health report outbreaks to HPSC and link cases to these outbreaks. This process is taking longer with the recent surge in case numbers. Public Health are prioritising the reporting of outbreaks in key settings e.g. RCFs, hospitals. Therefore, the number of private house outbreaks is underestimated.

From Table 7 it can be seen that in the last four weeks 7,259 cases have been linked to an outbreak and of these 1,689 (35%) were in nursing homes, 414 (9%) were in hospital or a community hospital/long-stay unit and 382 (8%) were in residential institutions. The over 80 age group made up 28% of all cases linked to an outbreak over this period.

There were 637 cases (14%) linked to an outbreak in the workplace in the last four weeks.

Referrals and Testing

There were 81,121 referrals for community testing where a valid reservation was recorded in the week ending 19 February. Referrals for testing decreased in the last week, in particular among the 0 – 14 age groups, which fell from 5,687 to 4,739 in the week ending 19 February. Some 39% of referrals were from GPs in the week ending 19 February, this is a decrease from 79% in the week ending 01 January. Analysis on referral speciality type shows that while residential settings/ institutions/ schools’ referrals for testing have remained consistent for the last number of weeks, healthcare/ essential worker testing has increased by 6,212, while general COVID-19 testing has fallen by 7,480 in the week ending 19 February.

Weekly testing numbers from HSE labs and hospitals show there were 107,182 tests completed in the week ending 19 February. The positivity rate in the week ending 19 February was 5.4%, down from 5.6% the previous week.

Underlying Conditions

Due to the recent surge in cases there are a large volume of deaths and cases where underlying cases are unknown in recent weeks, therefore the current numbers of cases with underlying conditions are likely to be underestimated. This data is being reviewed by HPSC and for this reason, information on underlying conditions has not been included in this bulletin.
