Today we are reporting 9,392 community cases, 398 hospitalisations and 9 deaths. Today’s seven-day rolling average of community case numbers is 7,533 – last Thursday it was 7,684.
The number of community cases today is an important reminder to remain vigilant. There are three actions everyone can do to help protect themselves and others from COVID-19.
Firstly – be up to date with vaccinations, including a booster if you’ve not yet had one. Secondly – wear a mask. Masks are still required in many indoor settings.
A good rule of thumb is to wear a mask in indoor public settings as we know that mask use halves the risk of spread of COVID-19.
