🧵
Reported cases per 100K population grew for the 3rd week in a row in most states. Cases were nearly flat in Queensland.
WA reported the highest case rate - 35/100K, with SA & TAS close being. NSW & VIC are up to 22/100K.
The weekly change in reported cases was led by Tasmania at an eye-watering +45%. The last time any state exceeded that growth rate was WA in mid-May
Cases in SA grew by +33%.
Hospitalised cases rose last week in VIC and SA, but were flat or declining elsewhere.
Deaths rose very sharply last week in SA and also rose in Tasmania, but were flat or declining elsewhere.
"Fully vaccinated" - received a booster in the last 120 days
This continues to decline, everywhere. Perhaps a slight deviation upwards in the trends for Victoria and WA, in the last week or so?
The range now is from Tasmania (12.5%) down to WA (10.6%).
Cumulative deaths for Australia:
- 15,776 for the pandemic
- 13,995 in the last 12 months
- 418 in the last 4 weeks
