Today we are reporting 15,918 community cases, 817 hospitalisations and 14 deaths. It's encouraging to see case numbers continuing to decline.
This supports the trend we are seeing across the seven day rolling average. Today's seven day rolling average is 14,969; this compares with the seven day rolling average of cases as at last Wednesday of 17,111.
Getting boosted continues to be one of the most important ways people can protect themselves from Omicron and severe illness.
There is a much lower risk of being hospitalised if you are up to date with your vaccinations, which, for Omicron, includes a third or booster dose if eligible.
