Update on Covid-19: Discussion
Dr. Ronan Glynn:
We have data from 27 June to 11 September, inclusive. Over that period, there were seven outbreaks in community hospital or long-stay units and 51 in nursing homes. That is 58 outbreaks in total. Across those 58 outbreaks there were 896 cases recorded and 31 of the people involved were hospitalised, which was 3.5%. Unfortunately, 31 passed away giving a mortality rate of 3.5%. Last week there were four new nursing home outbreaks reported involving 24 confirmed cases.
