NSW has recorded 34,660 new COVID-19 cases and a further 20 deaths overnight as the state nears the peak of the Omicron outbreak. 7NEWS

NSW COVID update

While more people are dying with the virus in NSW than at any other time during the pandemic authorities maintain things are going better than expected and predict the outbreak will soon peak. Worst case scenario modelling suggests 6000 people could be in hospital at the peak of the outbreak, with 10 per cent in intensive care.

However, best case scenario predictions paint a grimmer picture than reality, estimating 3158 people would be in hospital.Credit:Premier Dominic Perrottet on Friday said the state had “a difficult few weeks ahead” but things not currently being as bad as feared was “very reassuring and encouraging”. NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant warned about half the people in NSW could become infected during the Omicron wave, though some would be asymptomatic and may never even know they had contracted the virus.
