This is the thirtieth 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 (HPSC) and data from the HSE’s Swiftcare (A2i) and COVID Care Tracker (CCT) systems. This Bulletin covers the period from 28 February 2020 to 30 April 2021.

Deaths

For the week ending 30 April, 10 deaths were recorded among confirmed COVID-19 cases.

Throughout the pandemic, most deaths have occurred in the older age groups. In the week ending 30 April 2021, 70% of deaths were in people aged 65 years and over.

No county recorded more than five deaths in the week ending 30 April 2021.

From Table B we can see the overall mortality rate is 19 per 1,000 confirmed cases. This was highest in April 2020 at 77 per 1,000 confirmed cases. The mortality rate was one per 1,000 in April 2021, down from 23 in January 2021. (Note: These figures may need to be revised as there is a time lag between onset of symptoms and death.)

Confirmed Cases

For the week ending 30 April, the number of weekly cases was 2,737, a decrease of 11% from the previous week.

Those aged 25-44 made up 33% of confirmed cases in the week ending 30 April with those aged 65 and over making up 4%.

There were 55 health care workers diagnosed in the week ending 30 April, this is the lowest weekly figure since the week ending 14 August 2020.

Dublin accounted for just under two-fifths (1,074) of all new cases for the week ending 30 April.

Kildare was the county with the second highest number of new cases (261) for the week ending 30 April.

Cork and Donegal recorded 216 and 195 cases respectively for the week ending 30 April.

Kerry, Leitrim and Sligo had 10 cases or fewer in the same week.

Hospitalisations

In Table 6, Hospitalisations have been decreasing since the peak of 1,469 in the week ending 15 January to 82 hospitalisations in the week ending 30 April. ICU admissions have also decreased from the peak of 155 in the week ending 08 January to seven in the week ending 30 April.

Throughout the whole period of the pandemic from March 2020 to the week ending 30 April 2021, the over 65 age category accounted for 54% of all persons hospitalised.

Since the start of the pandemic, 53% of those hospitalised were male but males accounted for 65% of those admitted to ICU.

From Table B, it can be seen that the hospitalisation rate was 36 and the ICU rate four per 1,000 confirmed cases in April 2021 (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

In Table 5, the average number of contacts per positive case per week was 3.9 in the week ending 30 April 2021. This figure has been consistent since the week ending 19 February.

Wexford was the county with the highest average number of contacts per positive case at 5.4 for the week ending 30 April 2021.

Outbreaks

Public Health report outbreaks to HPSC and link cases to these outbreaks. Public Health are prioritising the reporting of outbreaks in key settings e.g. Regional Care Facilities (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, 4,046 cases have been linked to an outbreak. The under 24 age group made up 47% of all cases linked to an outbreak over this period. There were 232 cases (6%) linked to an outbreak in schools, 209 cases (5%) were linked to an outbreak in childcare facility and 624 cases (15%) linked to an outbreak in the workplace in the last four weeks.

The number of outbreaks in healthcare settings continues to fall with 46 (1%) cases lined to an outbreak in the last four weeks in hospital or a community hospital/long-stay unit and 36 (1%) in residential institutions.

Referrals and Testing

In Table 9, there were 100,747 referrals for community testing where a valid reservation was recorded in the week ending 30 April an increase of 30% from 77,421 the week before. There was an increase of more than 20% in all age groups up to 65 years old. Referrals from GPs are at 61% up from 51% in week ending 16 April. Analysis on referral speciality type increased across all specialty types except testing of close contacts.

Weekly testing numbers from the Health Service Executive (HSE) labs and hospitals show there were 124,418 tests completed in the week ending 30 April. The positivity rate in the week ending 30 April was 2.7%, down from 2.8% the previous week.

Sector of Employment

In Table 10, the CSO has used Revenue PAYE Modernisation system data to provide insight on employment status of COVID-19 cases. Using pseudonymised identifiers more than 80% of confirmed cases in the CIDR database could be linked to administrative data sources, and of these, approximately 50% had a record of employment. As well as the strict legal protections set out in the Statistics Act, 1993, and other existing regulations, we are committed to protecting individual privacy and all identifiable information from each of the data sources used in our analysis, such as name, date of birth and addresses, are removed before use and only anonymised statistical aggregates are produced.

By matching the month the COVID-19 case is reported to a record of employment in that month (or most recently available record of employment, currently March 2021 for cases reported in April); a further adjustment has been made to account for those coming off the Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) scheme). The results attempt to reflect the industry of an employee when they became a positive case in the CIDR system. However, this does not indicate that the case is linked to an outbreak in the workplace. In Figure 4, it can be seen that 18% of reported cases with a record of employment in the week ending 01 May were employed in the Wholesale & Retail Trade; repair of motor vehicles & motorcycles sector. The Human health and Social Work activities sector now accounts for 10% of cases, down from 33% in the week ending 30 January.
