Data on the number of patients who are admitted to hospital due to Covid complications compared to those who test positive after being admitted for other reasons is being sought by the Government.

At present, the HSE Covid hub website states that there are 141 people in hospital who have tested positive for coronavirus, of whom 22 are in ICU.

A Government spokesperson said it is "seeking better data on hospitalisations in order to better inform decision making. "This includes details on the total number of positive cases in hospital, the number who contracted Covid while in hospital, and those being treated for Covid specifically." RTÉ has also requested this information from the HSE but no data has been forthcoming.
