This is the twenty-ninth 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 16 April 2021.

Deaths

For the week ending 16 April, 15 deaths were recorded among confirmed COVID-19 cases.

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. 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 3,657 cases have been linked to an outbreak. The under 24 age group made up 48% of all cases linked to an outbreak over this period. There were 279 cases (8%) linked to an outbreak in schools, 292 cases (8%) were linked to an outbreak in childcare facility and 307 cases (8%) linked to an outbreak in the workplace in the last four weeks.

There were 97 (3%) were in a hospital or a community hospital/long-stay unit and 83 (2%) were in residential institutions.

Referrals and Testing

In Table 9, There were 76,248 referrals for community testing where a valid reservation was recorded in the week ending 16 April. Referrals for testing increased in the last week and there was an increase, from 20,319 to 22,981, in referrals among the 25 – 44 age group. Some 50% of referrals were from GPs in the week ending 16 April, this is a decrease from 79% in the week ending 01 January. Analysis on referral speciality type shows that healthcare / essential worker testing has increased by 8,821 in the week ending 16 April.

Weekly testing numbers from HSE labs and hospitals show there were 103,974 tests completed in the week ending 16 April. The positivity rate in the week ending 16 April was 2.7%, no change from the previous week.

Industry 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, 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 February 2021 for cases reported in March and April; a further adjustment has been made to account for those coming off 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.

Figure 4 shows that 21% of reported cases with a record of employment in the week ending 17 April were employed in the Wholesale & Retail Trade; Repair of Motor Vehicles & Motorcycles sector. The Human Health & Social Work Activities sector now accounts for 12% of cases, down from 33% in the week ending 30 January. There was a 65% increase in new confirmed cases among employees in the Construction sector in the week ending 17 April.
