Today we are reporting 3,235 community cases, 356 current hospitalisations, and five deaths. The seven-day rolling average of community case numbers today is 4,991– last Sunday it was 5,919.
We are continuing to remind people of the importance of not only protecting against COVID-19 but also protecting against influenza and other winter ills and chills.
Much of the advice is the same: Stay at home if you are unwell. If you have symptoms of COVID-19 take a COVID-19 test.
If your symptoms worsen, or you are concerned about the health of yourself or someone you’re caring for, call Healthline on 0800 611 116 or your doctor/healthcare provider.
