Data are submitted by public and private hospitals that have agreed to report COVID-19 admissions through DATCOV surveillance in all nine provinces of South Africa. A COVID-19 case was defined as a person with a positive reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT- PCR) assay for SARS-CoV-2 who was admitted to a DATCOV sentinel hospital. An individual was defined as having severe disease if treated in high care or intensive care unit (ICU), or ventilated or diagnosed with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Case fatality ratio (CFR) was calculated for all closed cases, i.e. COVID-19 deaths divided by COVID-19 deaths plus COVID-19 discharges, excluding individuals who are still admitted in hospital. Data are received from all private hospitals nationally, from all public hospitals in the Western Cape (WC) Province and 37 public hospitals in the other eight provinces. As new hospitals join the surveillance system, they have retrospectively captured all admissions recorded. As of 25 July 2020, a total of 321 facilities, 98 from public sector and 223 from private sector, submitted data on hospitalised COVID-19 cases (Table 1). There were 13 additional hospitals (10 public-sector and 3 private-sector) reporting COVID-19 admissions since the last report. Table 1: Number of hospitals reporting data on COVID-19 admissions by province and sector, South Africa, 5 March-25 July 2020 Name of province Public Sector Private Sector Eastern Cape (EC) 19 13 Free State (FS) 11 18 Gauteng (GP) 6 82 KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) 7 41 Limpopo (LP) 1 6 North West (NW) 0 8 Northern Cape (NC) 2 12 Western Cape (WC) 1 6 Mpumalanga (MP) 51 37 South Africa 98 223 RESULTS Epidemiological and geographic trends in admissions From 5 March to 25 July, a total of 33 401 COVID-19 admissions (5 247 additional from last report) were reported from 321 facilities in all nine provinces of South Africa. Of these admissions, 12761 (38.2%) and 20 640 (61.8%) were reported in public and private sector, respectively. Initially, most admissions were reported in the private sector; from week 17 a higher proportion of total admissions was reported in the public sector; and since week 25 a higher proportion was reported in the private sector. The shift is most likely due to underreporting in the public sector in other provinces besides Western Cape in recent weeks. The decrease in reported admissions in the last epidemiological week is likely due to a delay in the submission of data (Figure 1). www.nicd.ac.za PAGE 2 5000 Public 4500 4000 Private 3500 19 Admissions - 3000 2500 2000 1500 Number Number of COVID 1000 500 0 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Epidemiological week of diagnosis Figure 1: Number of reported COVID-19 admissions by health sector and epidemiologic week of diagnosis, 5 March-25 July 2020, n=33401 The majority of admissions (29 580/3 3401, 88.6%) were recorded in four provinces, with the highest number reported in Western Cape (13 617/33 401, 40.8%), followed by Gauteng (9 055/33 401, 27.1%), KwaZulu-Natal (4 755/3 3401, 14.2%) and Eastern Cape (2 153/3 3401, 6.4%) provinces. Western Cape experienced an increase in admissions from week 19 which has in the past two weeks seemingly plateaued; the increase in Gauteng began in week 23 and in KwaZulu-Natal in week 26 (Figure 2). 16000 14000 Western Cape Gauteng KwaZulu-Natal 12000 Eastern Cape Free State North West 10000 19 admnissions 19 - 8000 Limpopo Mpumalanga Northern Cape 6000 4000 Number Number of COVID 2000 0 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Epidemiological week Figure 2: Cumulative numbers of reported COVID-19 admissions, by province and epidemiological week of diagnosis, South Africa, 5 March-25 July 2020, n=3 3401 www.nicd.ac.za PAGE 3 DEMOGRAPHIC AND CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF COVID-19 ADMISSIONS The median age of COVID-19 admissions was 51 years (interquartile range [IQR] 39 – 62).

Extensive global uptake of this resource has resulted in a large, standardised collection of comprehensive clinical data from hundreds of sites across dozens of countries. Data are analysed regularly and reported publicly to inform patient care and public health response. This report, our 15th report, is a part of a series and includes the results of data analysis for data captured before 26 May 2021. The report marks a significant milestone – the submission of clinical data from over half a million individuals hospitalised with COVID-19. We thank all of the data contributors for their ongoing support.
