We’ve published a technical article which highlights the different characteristics of people more likely to test positive for #COVID19 across countries of the UK.
Findings are from 11 Nov 2020 to 16 May 2021, when the Alpha variant was the most dominant ow.ly/fkei50GzX0h
In Wales and England, living in an urban city or town increased the likelihood of testing positive for #COVID19 when compared to those living in a rural village ow.ly/HqXh50GzX1Y
In Wales, age did not effect the probability of testing positive for #COVID19 until around age 60 years, when the probability of testing positive decreased.
In England, younger ages were more likely to test positive than those from older ages ow.ly/w1cw50GzX67
In Northern Ireland the likelihood of testing positive appeared to increase until mid-adulthood (around early 40s) and then decreased in older ages.
However, confidence intervals are wide so trends should be interpreted with caution ow.ly/qbbQ50GzX8e
In Scotland, household size was associated with an increased likelihood of testing positive for #COVID19 to a greater extent for non-White individuals compared with England ow.ly/YGY850GzXbp
