Amharc ar fhreagraThe COVID-19 deaths and cases series published by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) aims to provide insights on those who have either died or contracted COVID-19, by using data from the Computerised Infectious Disease Reporting (CIDR) provided to the CSO by the Health Protection Surveillance Centre.
The Electoral Division map published in bulletin 5 on 19 June 2020 detailed the geographic distribution of cases up to 12 June 2020.
Under the Statistics Act 1993 the CSO is obliged to ensure individuals are not directly or indirectly identifiable in data published by the Office. While the number of weekly cases remains low the CSO has no plans to update this map.
