"With only a matter of days until the start of winter, the country’s Covid
numbers are again starting to climb.
The cooler weather is prime time for both Covid and the flu to spread, and
despite a strong focus on doing the right thing – staying home when symptoms
appear and getting vaccinated – Covid cases have climbed across Australia.
Over the past seven days, 41,188 cases have been detected – a 7.7 per cent
increase on the week prior – with 14,409 cases in NSW alone.
The state experienced an increase of 864 cases on the previous week, and 69
people died from the illness during the week ending May 26.
Positive tests jumped 15 per cent in Victoria, where 10,642 cases and nine
deaths were recorded.
South Australian cases climbed 28 per cent to 4012 – up 1338 from the week
before.
In Queensland there was a more mild increase of 8 per cent, with average cases
a day now hitting 757.
Western Australia also reported a small spike in cases, up from 4092 to 4486,
and 30 deaths in the past week.
The Northern Territory recorded 203 new cases over the last seven days, and
Tasmania reported 1252.
Experts continue to warn that the best defence against respiratory illnesses is
vaccination."
