'Australia can expect another wave of COVID-19 infections in coming weeks,
experts say, as case numbers rise and new variants circulate.
In a report released on Thursday, NSW Chief Health Officer, Kerry Chant, warned
infections would soon increase.
"By looking at all the local information we have and what’s happening overseas,
we believe COVID cases will rise in the coming weeks," she said.
The NSW rise mirrors Victoria, where a 25 per cent increase in case numbers was
recorded last week.
Victoria's Chief Health Officer, Brett Sutton, said the numbers signalled the
start of another surge.
Catherine Bennett, chair of epidemiology at Deakin University, said the next
wave was starting across Australia.
"We could see this and maybe another wave early next year. It just means
there's that constant exposure risks going ahead," she said.
In contrast to this time last year, cases are now only reported on a weekly
basis across Australia.
The data showed that in the last week of October, numbers increased in all
states and territories except Queensland.'
