COVID-19

Open in Excel:

The information in this chapter is from a new 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 to 02 October 2020.

A Six-Month Review of the Virus

Open in Excel:

By analysing the six months of summaries of COVID-19 confirmed cases since March in Table 28.1, we can see the difference in the profile of people infected over this time. Women still make up the majority of confirmed cases, but in recent months this difference has lessened with men accounting for 52% of cases in August and 49% of all cases in September.

The percentage of cases amongst younger age groups has also increased in more recent months with confirmed case rates in people aged under 24 at 34% in September compared with less than 10% in March and April. A different trend can be seen in the over 80s age group, which have accounted for 2% of cases since July compared with 20% in April.

The incidence levels of the virus decreased in the Dublin region over the summer months, but made up 48% of cases in September, while the percentage of cases in the Midlands, Mid East and Mid West decreased in September following increases in August. The Border, West and South West regions have also seen increases in September.

Health care workers made up 7% of all confirmed cases in September and the CSO notes that the number of health care workers affected by the virus has been falling each month since this group of people accounted for 36% of all cases in April.

Looking at analysis of the Electoral Districts (ED) of confirmed cases we can see that since the number of cases started to rise again in July there has been an increase in cases in areas where median household income is lower, there is higher working age welfare dependency and a large proportion (>25%) of the population live in rental accommodation. However, September has seen an increase of confirmed cases in areas of lower working age welfare dependency and where a smaller proportion (<15%) of the population live in rental accommodation.

Table 28.1: Monthly Profile of COVID-19 Confirmed Cases

Mortality, Hospitalisation and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Admission Rates

Open in Excel:

The overall mortality rate is 41 per 1,000 confirmed cases, this was highest in April at 74 per 1,000 confirmed cases but has been less than five in August and September. The overall hospitalisation rate is 120 people per 1,000 confirmed cases, this was highest in March at 192 per 1,000 confirmed cases and is 40 in September. The overall ICU admission rate is 13 per 1,000 confirmed cases, this was also highest in March at 28 per 1,000 confirmed cases and is four people per 1,000 cases in August and three per 1,000 in September. (Note: It is important to note that there is a time lag between the onset of symptoms and hospital admission or death. Also note that September rates are provisional).

Referrals and Testing

Open in Excel:

There were 76,899 referrals for community testing where a valid reservation was recorded in the week ending 02 October. Some 60% of referrals were from GPs in the week ending 02 October.

Testing numbers cannot be directly compared with referrals for community testing; there is a significant number of tests completed in hospitals as well as a time lag between referral and test completion. A number of referrals also do not result in a test being completed. The positivity rate in the week ending 02 October was 3.2%.

COVID-19 Deaths and Cases

Open in Excel:

Deaths

The data produced by the CSO in Table 28.2 is based on the Actual Date of Death. The total number of people who have died from COVID-19 is 1,572, with a further 229 deaths cited as probable deaths linked to the virus.

The virus claimed the lives of 36 more men than women up to and including the week ending 02 October. It also continues to impact the older age groups the hardest, with 64% of all confirmed COVID-19 deaths to date in the 80 years old or older age group.

Confirmed Cases

The total number of confirmed cases is 38,554. More than half (55%) of all confirmed cases are now linked to an outbreak. The median age of total confirmed COVID-19 cases is now 45.

Some 3,562 more females were diagnosed with COVID-19 than males.

The 25-44 age group still show the highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases at 13,294.

The median age of new confirmed COVID-19 cases was 33 years old for the week ending 02 October.
