“We would like you to get tested with a PCR test or rapid antigen test if possible, but if for whatever reason you find that difficult, you should assume you have Covid and isolate,” Dr Gerrard said.He said those who had difficulty breathing after walking a short distance, such as between rooms in households, needed to call an ambulance.Chief health officer John Gerrard urged all residents to assume they “very likely” had Covid-19 if they had any associated symptoms.

“Our ambulances and paramedics are under significant strain with the calls they are getting and we want to make sure we don’t have people ringing simply because they have a positive test but otherwise are feeling well,” she said.She also asked residents not to call for an ambulance to be transported to a testing or vaccination clinic.

The figures come as the state officially opened its domestic borders, removing all restrictions on interstate travel.

'All deaths are almost exclusively old people so we make a big deal of it when a young person dies with covid' 'We are brimming with integrity and very smart' Bravo.

No border will upset the anti vaxxers who think controls will tighten as it spreads. I wonder what vs they will concoct to make up for it.
