This is the twenty-sixth 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 05 March 2021.

Deaths

For the week ending 05 March, 51 deaths were recorded among confirmed COVID-19 cases.

Throughout the pandemic, most deaths have occurred in the older age groups. In the week ending 05 March 2021, 86% of deaths were in people aged 65 years and over.

There were 11 deaths in Dublin in the week ending 05 March. Cork (6) and Donegal (5) were the only other counties to record more than five deaths in the week.

Confirmed Cases

For the week ending 05 March, the number of weekly cases was 2,843, a decrease of 31% from the previous week.

Those aged 25-44 made up 33% of confirmed cases in the week ending 05 March with those aged 65 and over making up 9%.

There were 114 health care workers diagnosed in the week ending 05 March, this is the lowest weekly figure since the week ending 28 August.

Dublin accounted for almost a half (1,272) of all new cases for the week ending 05 March and it was the ninth week in a row that weekly cases in Dublin have fallen. Meath was the county with the second highest number of new cases (158) for the week ending 05 March.

This is the eighth week in a row that Leitrim has recorded less than 50 new cases. This is the sixth week in a row that Roscommon has recorded less than 50 new cases and the fourth such week for Sligo.

Figure 2 shows how although the number of new cases has fallen nationally by 31%, this varies across counties from an 82% decrease in Leitrim to a 7% increase in Wicklow.

Hospitalisations

Hospitalisations have been decreasing since the peak of 1,376 in the week ending 15 January and were 173 in the week ending 05 March. ICU admissions have also decreased from the peak of 130 in the week ending 08 January to less than five in the week ending 05 March.

From Table B, it can be seen that the hospitalisation rate was 77 and the ICU rate six per 1,000 confirmed cases in 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 05 March, down from six contacts per case in the week ending 25 December 2020. This implies details of more than 8,500 close contacts were recorded in the week.

From Figure 3, the range of close contacts can be seen per county, from an average of two contacts per case in Carlow to almost four per case in Dublin.

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. Similarly while every effort is being made to link cases to outbreaks as quickly as possible, there can sometimes be a delay in linking cases to the outbreak.

From Table 7 it can be seen that in the last four weeks 4,230 cases have been linked to an outbreak and of these 432 (10%) were in nursing homes, 189 (4%) were in hospital or a community hospital/long-stay unit and 269 (6%) were in residential institutions. The under 24 age group made up 42% of all cases linked to an outbreak over this period.

There were 505 cases (12%) linked to an outbreak in the workplace in the last four weeks.

Referrals and Testing

There were 67,666 referrals for community testing where a valid reservation was recorded in the week ending 05 March. Referrals for testing continued to decrease in the last week however there was a small increase, from 5,281 to 5,327, in referrals among the 0 – 14 age group. Some 44% of referrals were from GPs in the week ending 05 March, this is a decrease from 79% in the week ending 01 January. Analysis on referral speciality type shows that general COVID-19 testing has fallen by 3,610 and contact testing / at risk groups has fallen by 3,174 in the week ending 05 March.

Weekly testing numbers from HSE labs and hospitals show there were 101,426 tests completed in the week ending 05 March. The positivity rate in the week ending 05 March was 4.1%, down from 4.6% the previous week.
