This bulletin covers the period from 28 February 2020 to 15 October 2021. It is the thirty-fourth publication in the Central Statistics Office (CSO) series of bulletins providing insights into those who have contracted or died from COVID-19. The data used is from the Computerised Infectious Disease Reporting (CIDR) provided to the CSO by the Health Protection Surveillance Centre.

Deaths

There were 23 deaths among confirmed COVID-19 cases in the week ending 15 October 2021 and of those, 22 deaths (96%) were in people aged 65 and over. Most deaths in this pandemic have been in older age groups. No county recorded more than five deaths in the week ending 15 October 2021.

From Table B, we can see the overall mortality rate is 13 per 1,000 confirmed cases. This was highest in April 2020 at 74 per 1,000 confirmed cases. The mortality rate was three per 1,000 in August 2021, down from 24 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

The number of weekly cases was 10,675 in the week ending 15 October 2021, an increase of 13% from 9,454 in the previous week. Nearly a third (30%) of cases were among people aged 25-44 while about one in ten (13%) were in those aged 65 and over. Those aged 14 or younger accounted for 22% of cases, the same as the previous week.

Dublin (2,638) and Cork (1,090) had the highest number of new cases for the week ending 15 October 2021. Figure 3 shows how although the number of new cases has risen nationally by 13%, this varies across counties.

Hospitalisations

There were 237 Hospitalisations of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the week ending 08 October 2021 and 229 in the week ending 15 October 2021. Of these, 27 were admitted to ICU in the week ending 08 October 2021 and 28 in the week ending 15 October 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.)

People aged 65 and over accounted for 52% of all those hospitalised through the whole period of the pandemic, i.e. from March 2020 to the week ending 15 October 2021.

Males accounted for 53% of those hospitalised and 64% of admissions to ICU since the start of the pandemic.

From Table B, the average hospitalisation rate in August and September was greater than 20 people per 1,000 confirmed cases, down from 71 per 1,000 in February. Table B also shows hospitalisation rates across all age groups decreased between April and June but have increased since then in all age groups except those aged 80 and over.

The average ICU admission rate in August and September was three people per 1,000 confirmed cases, down from seven per 1,000 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. Also, please note that September rates are provisional).

Sector of Employment

In Table 10, 17% of reported cases with a record of employment in the week ending 16 October 2021 were employed in the Human Health & Social Work Activities sector and 14% in the Wholesale & Retail Trade; Repair of Motor Vehicles & Motorcycles sector.

Cases in the Education sector has remained at 6% of all cases among employees for the third consecutive week.

In this analysis, 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 August 2021 for cases reported in September and October); 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.

Impact of the cyber-attack on the HSE IT systems on CSO COVID-19 Insights Bulletin

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) uses 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 to produce this information bulletin. These dataflows were disrupted by the cyber-attack on the HSE IT systems on 14 May 2021.

Reporting from the CIDR surveillance system has recommenced on 02 September 2021:

https://www.hpsc.ie/a-z/respiratory/coronavirus/novelcoronavirus/surveillance/recommencementofreportingfromcidr/

However, other dataflows remain unavailable, so this bulletin does not include all tables or information previously included.
