Asymptomatic carriage rates and case fatality of SARS-CoV-2 infection in residents and staff in Irish nursing homes

Sean P. Kennelly et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of COVID-19 on nursing homes in three Irish Community Health Organisations, finding that around one-third of nursing homes experienced COVID-19 outbreaks with high infection rates. The resident infection rate was 43.9%, with a case fatality rate of 27.6%. There was a similar proportion of residents developing COVID-19 in nursing homes with early-stage versus later-stage outbreaks, but lower recovery rates in early outbreak homes. Nearly a quarter of staff were asymptomatic carriers of the virus.
