Among the working age population (20 to 64 years) there was a total of 2,494 deaths involving #COVID19 in England and Wales (registered up to and including 20 April 2020) http://ow.ly/ANBy50zCpQ9 ">https://ow.ly/ANBy50zCp...

Nearly two-thirds of these were men (1,612 deaths) with the remaining deaths being women (882 deaths).

The rate of death involving #COVID19 is statistically higher in men (9.9 per 100,000) than in women (5.2 per 100,000) http://ow.ly/bHbq30qEWH0 ">https://ow.ly/bHbq30qEW...

Among men, those working in the lowest skilled occupations had the highest rate of death involving #COVID19, with 21.4 deaths per 100,000 males (225 deaths) http://ow.ly/ddg630qEWIk ">https://ow.ly/ddg630qEW...

Women in the caring, leisure and other service occupations had a mortality rate of 7.5 deaths per 100,000 (130 deaths.)

This is the only occupational group where the rate was statistically significantly higher than for women in the general population http://ow.ly/khbD30qEWJu ">https://ow.ly/khbD30qEW...

Men and women working in social care (a group including care workers and home carers) both had significantly raised rates of death involving #COVID19

Health care workers (including doctors and nurses) were not found to have higher rates of death involving #COVID19 when compared with the rate among those whose death involved COVID-19 of the same age and sex in the population http://ow.ly/f1zz30qEWO6 ">https://ow.ly/f1zz30qEW...

Men working as road transport drivers, including taxi and cab drivers and chauffeurs, had some of the highest rates of death involving #COVID19 among men http://ow.ly/NF8S30qEWP3 ">https://ow.ly/NF8S30qEW...

While this analysis shows certain occupations had higher rates of death involving #COVID19 it does not prove conclusively that the observed rates of death involving COVID-19 are necessarily caused by differences in occupational exposure http://ow.ly/7kft30qEWPP ">https://ow.ly/7kft30qEW...
