  • Note: ICU = intensive care unit, IMV = invasive mechanical ventilation, NR = not reported owing to small cell, SARS-CoV-2 = severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

  • * Some age group frequency and proportions are aggregated to avoid small cells. “Other” was defined as unknown sex at the time patient information was entered into the Case and Contact Management Plus data set.

  • Proportion of hospitalization is calculated as number of hospitalizations per number of cases within respective group. Proportion of ICU admission is given as number of ICU admissions per number of hospitalized individuals within respective group. Proportion of ventilation is given as number of individuals requiring ventilation over number of individuals admitted to ICU within respective groups.
