New South Wales state and Sydney are the epicentre of the current wave of infections along Australia's eastern seaboard.
From neighbouring state Victoria earlier:
The last couple of weeks or so in NSW:
- 356,344,345,390,466,415,478,452,633,681, 644, 825, 830, 818, 753 and today's report of 919
Of the 919, a new rec ord daily high:
- 178 are linked to a known case or cluster
- 106 were in isolation throughout their infectious period
- 18 were in isolation for part of their infectious period
- The isolation status of 741 cases remains under investigation
- Doing the sums ... up to 813 of today's 919 new cases were in the community while infectious. How to seed a further rise.
The total number of vaccines administered in NSW is now 6,143,824
