NZ Covid Trends 2023 – Cases, Hospital Admissions, ICU Admissions and Deaths by Vaccination Status

With the massive bump in ICU and Hospital Admissions last week, I thought it would be worth looking at the change over time (The Fountainhead does the Cases and Hospitalisations, and inspired my original Death stats)

UPDATE: THE SPIKE WAS A DATA ERROR

Hi @minhealthnz, were there actually 4 months worth of ICU and Hospital case increases last week, or did somebody make a mistake somewhere? https://t.co/n492UX6yOk

These are simply the results for each group from the Case Demographics page, plotted against time.

Next up is the per-capita rate change. That’s a little more work.

Cases – Positive Tests for Covid-19

Hospital Admissions for Covid-19

ICU Admissions for Covid-19

Deaths with Covid-19 or positive within 28 Days of Death
