Thank you for your request.
We have published the following analysis on COVID-19 infection rates by occupation:
- By occupation and work location in our July article
- work location and patient facing roles in our August article
- Patient facing roles by age in our September article
- Antibodies by occupation and patient facing roles in our November article
- Teachers, key workers and other professions in our November 06 bulletin
- Ethnicity by region and occupation in our December article
- A sample of school staff were tested as part of our School Infection Survey (SIS), the results of which are available via the following link for Round 1: School Infection Survey
Our latest analysis showing COVID-19 deaths by occupation is available via the following link: Coronavirus (COVID-19) related deaths by occupation, England and Wales: Deaths registered between 9 March and 28 December 2020. This provides provisional analysis of deaths involving the coronavirus (COVID-19), by different occupational groups, among men and women aged 20 to 64 years in England and Wales from March to December 2020.
The data we hold on COVID-19 hospitalisation in the following bulletin, COVID-19 weekly insights: Latest health indicators in England, are data that we receive from Public Health England (PHE). We do not hold raw data for hospitalisation and therefore do not hold information regarding hospitalisations by occupation.
Public Health England would be better placed to assist with your query. They can be contacted via email at wn_coronavirus@phe.gov.uk.
