The 7-day incidence rate eases to 119.1
The lower figures associated with the daily cases and deaths are mainly due to lesser testing over the weekend but the falling 7-day incidence rate is the key takeaway from this update, reaffirming that the virus situation is somewhat improving.
Total active cases is seen easing further to ~266,800 across the country.
Medical capacity remains stretched but at least there are positive signs as of late with there being 4,669 (-99) virus patients requiring intensive care as of Friday, 7 May, with there being 2,767 (12%) intensive care beds still available.
