Ireland: half of all Covid deaths were infected in fewer than 400 buildings
A eureka moment from Irish architect Orla Hegarty who has found that half of all deaths from Covid in Ireland were infected in just 400 buildings.
- More than half of the people who died were infected in just 0.03% of buildings
- Over half of the cases in workplaces outbreaks have been in just 150 buildings
- Infection in overcrowded private homes is twice the rate of uncrowded homes
- 1 in 4 school buildings has had a Covid-19 index case in the last 4 months
Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health report: COVID-19 prevention is possible by managing people and managing indoor air

Ireland has >2,500,000 buildings
Risk is about buildings, not behaviour
Spread is about clusters, not contacts
Control is about eliminating the hot spots (pic: @mdc_martinus ) pic.twitter.com/CKcVWYWAud
