You asked
The number of confirmed cases of coronavirus per occupation (as a percentage of the number of people in this occupation in the UK) between the dates of September 5th 2020 and December 20th 2020.
We said
Thank you for your request.
In order to provide the total number of confirmed cases of coronavirus by occupation from the COVID-19 Infection survey for the dates outlined we would need to create bespoke analysis. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, Public Authorities are not obligated to create information in order to respond to requests. We therefore consider this to be information not held.
However, we have produced some analysis of positivity rates by occupation for this time period:
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
This analysis is for England only and covers various time periods from the start of September.
We continue to review our programme of analytical work.
