"Do you have family members or friends sick with a respiratory infection? If
so, there’s a good chance it’s COVID, caused by the JN.1 variant currently
circulating in Australia.

In particular, New South Wales is reportedly experiencing its highest levels of
COVID infections in a year, while Victoria is said to be facing a “double wave”
after a surge late last year.

But nearly four years into the pandemic, data collection is less comprehensive
than it was, and of course, fewer people are testing. So what do we know about
the extent of this wave? And importantly, are we adequately protected?"
