COVID-19 Pandemic State of Play 2022: New South Wales in early December

 


 

The graphic above illustrates what 'Living with COVID' 

Perrottet-style actually is, as at 4pm Thursday 8 December 2022.

That's an average infection growth factor of est. 1.02 - which is likely to indicate a 2% increase in daily case numbers. High levels of infection continuing according to NSW Health.

The number of healthcare workers infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus and in isolation stood at 1,897 on 7 December.

By 8 December there was an average of 6 deaths a day - an average increase of 2 more deaths a day than in the previous 7-day period.

Because of the deliberate fragmentation of published COVID-19 data and the built-in time lag to its release, there is no demographic breakdown of deaths for the 7 days up to 8 December. However, it seems likely deaths were of a similar age distribution to the previous reporting period, with the majority of deaths occurring in those between 60 to 90+ years of age.

As of the week ending 8 December 2022 there were 195 newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection in the Northern Rivers region and a total of 1,171 new cases in preceding 4 weeks.
