In support of this national response, this project is undertaking the following areas of work. The project aims to understand the spread of Covid-19 across the 500+ LSOAs within Coventry and Warwickshire. There are two broad project aims: 1. To understand how the virus may have spread across Coventry and Warwickshire (C&W) to better inform our understanding should a subsequent wave of infections materialises. This will include investigating any local variances in spread any relationship between factors such as demographics and deprivation. 2. To inform our understanding of the impact of Covid on the Coventry and Independent Peer Review Not required IF YOU HAVE TICKED 'NOT REQUIRED' PLEASE SPECIFY THE REASONS: This project is being undertaken in the national interest during a national emergency, with information being provided across governments and health authorities. Research Ethics Not required THE PROJECT USES WILL USE ONLY ANONYMISED DATA, AND THEREFORE RESEARCH ETHICS REVIEW IS NOT REQUIRED Yes 3 of 6 Warwickshire population to help shape both shorter and longer term strategy (e.g. areas of greater impact / links to deprivation etc. and what services might need to be considered at a local level) this may include broader areas such as feeding into JSNA work with local authorities. To meet these project aims the analysis will focus on gaining an understanding of any geographical variances or areas where the spread may have been greater or lesser and whether there are any areas which have an apparent lack of Covid infection.

Specifically this project aims to. 1. Support analysis into the spread or Covid-19 across Coventry and Warwickshire to facilitate analysis into the spread of Covid-19 throughout the region to help plan for and direct resources should a second peak emerge, and 2. to help support analysis into the effects of Covid-19 on the population of Coventry and Warwickshire and feed into both short and long term actions, policy development and strategy to help address need and any health inequalities directly resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. Anticipated outcomes of the project are: 1. Understanding of variances across C&W in terms of estimated affected proportion of the population; 2. Understanding of variances in estimated rates of spread across C&W; 3. Identification of areas which may have been more highly affected by Covid with a view to conducting further investigation into the possible reasons for this; initial analysis has shown some potential relationship between deprivation and admission rates for patients with Covid diagnosis.
