PHS Board papers for 16 December 2020

As part of a programme of COVID-19 surveillance in education, Public Health Scotland (PHS) has implemented approaches to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on the health of the education workforce. This report provides the results of this analysis for four periods: before school closure, after school closure and during ‘lockdown’, after ‘lockdown’ but before school return, and after school return (up to 26 November 2020). Data tables relating to the report of record linkage study of COVID-19 among teachers, healthcare workers and other working-age adults are also provided.

This report looks at findings from a number of projects and information sources, to provide intelligence on COVID-19 in education settings in Scotland. It looks at results following the return of pupils to education in August 2020, but includes data from earlier periods where this is relevant.

This report provides a range of analyses relating to COVID-19 with a specific focus on patterns associated with the age, sex and deprivation of people affected by the virus.
