Details

This paper aims to identify any difference in case fatality from COVID-19 before and after 23 March 2020 associated with age and comorbidity.

The paper was discussed at SAGE meeting 35 on 12 May 2020.

This evidence was often compiled very rapidly during a fast-moving response and should be viewed in this context. The paper presented here is the best assessment of the evidence at the time of writing, and the conclusions were formed on this basis. As new evidence or data emerges, SAGE updates its advice accordingly. Therefore, some of the information in this paper may have been superseded at a later date.
