The Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) and the Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC) today published an update to their analysis of factors associated with outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 in nursing homes, to include the third wave of COVID-19 in Ireland. This analysis was undertaken following a request from the COVID-19 Nursing Homes Expert Panel.
The updated analysis investigated factors associated with outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 in HIQA-registered nursing homes. Due to challenges posed by the cyber-attack on the HSE information systems, the analysis was limited to data up to 12 May 2021. The updated analysis therefore covers the first, second, and the majority of the third wave of COVID-19 in Ireland.
