ScotPHO COVID-19 Community Vulnerability
In addition to clinical and public health responses to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, action will be required to mitigate a range of associated social harms. ScotPHO have produced maps to illustrate a COVID-19 community vulnerability measure based on available demographic, social and clinical indicators relevant either directly to COVID-19 or to socio-economic factors that are likely to modify the impacts of the pandemic and efforts to delay it. The maps do not include any real-time information about COVID-19 infections, hospitalisations or deaths. The shading on the maps shows vulnerability of a geographical area to health and care system and socio-economic impacts.
A briefing paper and summary analysis have also been produced to compliment the maps and provide additional details of methodology.
