Today we are reporting 9,570 community cases, 425 hospitalisations and 32 deaths. The seven-day rolling average of community case numbers is 8,024 – last Wednesday it was 7,533.
Getting vaccinated and practicing good public health behaviours are two of the most effective ways to avoid getting COVID-19 this winter and minimise the impacts of the virus.
Stay home and avoid others if you’re unwell, isolating or awaiting results of a COVID-19 test. Masks are still required in many indoor settings.
Wearing a mask halves the risk of spread of COVID-19 and so it is also encouraged in settings where social distancing isn’t practical.
