Today we are reporting 7,829 community cases, 395 current hospitalisations, and 15 deaths. The seven-day rolling average of community case numbers today is 5,808 – last Wednesday it was 4,873.
The higher number of cases in the last two days, compared to last week, is not unusual after a long weekend. It will take more time before we are able to determine if this is part of a trend.
