Notice:
A technical issue impacted processing of COVID-19 cases on CIDR on 2/11/2021. Given the impact on CIDR notifications, the daily case numbers reported between 3rd and 8th November, were based on SARS-CoV-2 results uploaded to the COVID Care Tracker. These data were provisional. The number of cases reported as ‘Latest Daily Cases’ (ConfirmedCovidCases in open data) and ‘Total Confirmed Cases’ (CovidCasesConfirmed in open data) on the COVID-19 Data Hub for those dates reflect reported cases from the COVID Care Tracker. Reporting of daily cases and cumulative total cases based on notifications on CIDR recommenced from 9th November onwards.
Data contained in all other Profile data fields (e.g. county, age, hospitalised, healthcare workers) are based on CIDR notifications. Data contained in the HPSC ‘COVID-19 14-day epidemiology reports’ is also based on CIDR notifications and further details is available here https://www.hpsc.ie/a-z/respiratory/coronavirus/novelcoronavirus/surveillance/covid-1914-dayepidemiologyreports/.
Note: This service is only updated Monday-Friday. Records in the service created on a Saturday and a Sunday will be the same as updated on the Friday. This may have an impact on users who are consuming the services when calculating averages over time. All records in the service for the weekend will be provided in the normal open data update each Monday evening. There will be no gaps in the time series. As CIDR data is subject to ongoing review, validation and update, there may be revisions to previously published data. It is advised to always download the latest version of the open data for use.
Notice:
The Health Service Executive’s (HSE) IT systems suffered a major cyber-attack on Friday 14 May 2021. As a consequence, updates of the data in some fields of this layer were paused. Updates of the following fields were not paused: 'ConfirmedCovidCases' and 'TotalConfirmedCovidCases'. From 17 June 2021 onwards, all notified COVID-19 related deaths are reported on a weekly, rather than a daily, basis in this table in the field 'TotalCovidDeaths'. Updates to other fields in this service were paused between 15 May and 1 September 2021. This pause in updates affected data dated from 12 May to 31 August 2021. On 2 September updates to all the paused fields except ‘CloseContact’, ‘CommunityTransmission’, ‘HealthcareWorkersCovidCases’, 'TravelAbroad', and ‘UnderInvestigation’ resumed. These resumed updates include the data from the date range of the paused updates (12 May to 31 August 2021). On 27 October 2021 updates to the 'HealthcareWorkersCovidCases' field resumed, including the data from the date range of its paused updates (12 May to 26 October 2021).
Data for the period impacted by the cyber-attack (14 May-31 August 2021) should continue to be interpreted with caution. CIDR, as the national surveillance system is the definitive source for validated data on COVID-19 cases in Ireland which meet Irish and European case definitions.
Full details on the recommencement of reporting from CIDR can be found on the HPSC website
*** Notice ***
Please be advised that on 29th April 2021, the 'Aged65up' and 'HospitalisedAged65up' fields were removed from this table.
The three fields 'Aged65to74', 'Aged75to84', and 'Aged85up' replace the 'Aged65up' field.
<pBased on a comparison of coronavirus deaths in 210 countries relative to their population, Peru had the most losses to COVID-19 up until July 13, 2022. As of the same date, the virus had infected over 557.8 million people worldwide, and the number of deaths had totaled more than 6.3 million. Note, however, that COVID-19 test rates can vary per country. Additionally, big differences show up between countries when combining the number of deaths against confirmed COVID-19 cases. The source seemingly does not differentiate between "the Wuhan strain" (2019-nCOV) of COVID-19, "the Kent mutation" (B.1.1.7) that appeared in the UK in late 2020, the 2021 Delta variant (B.1.617.2) from India or the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) from South Africa.
The difficulties of death figures
This table aims to provide a complete picture on the topic, but it very much relies on data that has become more difficult to compare. As the coronavirus pandemic developed across the world, countries already used different methods to count fatalities, and they sometimes changed them during the course of the pandemic. On April 16, for example, the Chinese city of Wuhan added a 50 percent increase in their death figures to account for community deaths. These deaths occurred outside of hospitals and went unaccounted for so far. The state of New York did something similar two days before, revising their figures with 3,700 new deaths as they started to include “assumed” coronavirus victims. The United Kingdom started counting deaths in care homes and private households on April 29, adjusting their number with about 5,000 new deaths (which were corrected lowered again by the same amount on August 18). This makes an already difficult comparison even more difficult. Belgium, for example, counts suspected coronavirus deaths in their figures, whereas other countries have not done that (yet). This means two things. First, it could have a big impact on both current as well as future figures. On April 16 already, UK health experts stated that if their numbers were corrected for community deaths like in Wuhan, the UK number would change from 205 to “above 300”. This is exactly what happened two weeks later. Second, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly which countries already have “revised” numbers (like Belgium, Wuhan or New York) and which ones do not. One work-around could be to look at (freely accessible) timelines that track the reported daily increase of deaths in certain countries. Several of these are available on our platform, such as for Belgium, Italy and Sweden. A sudden large increase might be an indicator that the domestic sources changed their methodology.
Where are these numbers coming from?
The numbers shown here were collected by Johns Hopkins University, a source that manually checks the data with domestic health authorities. For the majority of countries, this is from national authorities. In some cases, like China, the United States, Canada or Australia, city reports or other various state authorities were consulted. In this statistic, these separately reported numbers were put together. For more information or other freely accessible content, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.
As of January 13, 2023, Bulgaria had the highest rate of COVID-19 deaths among its population in Europe at 548.6 deaths per 100,000 population. Hungary had recorded 496.4 deaths from COVID-19 per 100,000. Furthermore, Russia had the highest number of confirmed COVID-19 deaths in Europe, at over 394 thousand.
Number of cases in Europe During the same period, across the whole of Europe, there have been over 270 million confirmed cases of COVID-19. France has been Europe's worst affected country with around 38.3 million cases, this translates to an incidence rate of approximately 58,945 cases per 100,000 population. Germany and Italy had approximately 37.6 million and 25.3 million cases respectively.
Current situation In March 2023, the rate of cases in Austria over the last seven days was 224 per 100,000 which was the highest in Europe. Luxembourg and Slovenia both followed with seven day rates of infections at 122 and 108 respectively.

Objectives: Burden of Disease frameworks facilitate estimation of the health impact of diseases to be translated into a single measure, such as the Disability-Adjusted-Life-Year (DALY).Methods: DALYs were calculated as the sum of Years of Life Lost (YLL) and Years Lived with Disability (YLD) directly associated with COVID-19 in the Republic of Ireland (RoI) from 01 March 2020, to 28 February 2021. Life expectancy is based on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study life tables for 2019.Results: There were 220,273 confirmed cases with a total of 4,500 deaths as a direct result of COVID-19. DALYs were estimated to be 51,622.8 (95% Uncertainty Intervals [UI] 50,721.7, 52,435.8). Overall, YLL contributed to 98.5% of the DALYs. Of total symptomatic cases, 6.5% required hospitalisation and of those hospitalised 10.8% required intensive care unit treatment. COVID-19 was likely to be the second highest cause of death over our study’s duration.Conclusion: Estimating the burden of a disease at national level is useful for comparing its impact with other diseases in the population and across populations. This work sets out to standardise a COVID-19 BoD methodology framework for the RoI and comparable nations in the EU.
In early-March, 2020, the first case of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Ireland was confirmed in Dublin. The number of cases in Ireland has since risen to 1,697,775 with 490 new cases reported on January 12, 2023.
Current situation The rate of cases in Ireland over the last seven days is 80 cases per 100,000. While San Marino was the worst affected country, recording a seven-day rate of 336, as of January 16, 2023.
