Fig 1 — **Fig. 1**
Age-stratified (18-49 yrs, 50-74 yrs, >75 yrs) SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) positive cases (left vertical axis – linear scale) in hospitalised (A - HOSP) and community (B - COMM) patients, and staff (C - STAF) populations plotted over time. Effective reproductive number (Rt –right vertical axis – logarithmic scale) is plotted for each group with the same age-related colour code.
