Answer

Information on the number of people testing positive for COVID-19 during each week from March 2020 is not currently available by 10 year age bands. However, my Department currently publishes information on the number of individuals with a positive laboratory completed test for COVID-19 during each week since March 2020 by 20 year age bands on pages 10-11 of the DoH COVID Dashboard below:
