22 deaths have been recorded overnight with 182 people now in intensive care. 9News

There are 2383 people in hospital, and 182 in intensive care.

NSW Health has also started reporting vaccination levels for third doses, including for immuno-compromised people who receive a third dose as a matter of course, and people who have received a booster shot.The online RAT registration through the Service NSW app opened at 9am yesterday, with everybody who has recorded a positive result since January 1 required to upload it to the database.

Customer Services Minister Victor Dominello admitted it would be "almost impossible" to police, but said there were practical benefits for people to upload their results, including if they needed financial support, grants, or to access healthcare more promptly."Because ultimately it's about connecting people with health care and if you register that you've got a positive test and you are one of those people that are at higher risk, we can then get help to you faster.

"For those people that don't have a Service NSW app, you can also go to the Service NSW website, and access the form there," Mr Dominello said when announcing the launch yesterday.NSW recorded what was then its deadliest day of the pandemic yesterday, with 21 deaths linked to the virus.

Daily no of deaths high , record no of cases , lack of testing kits available , people are not going out due to risk of getting an infection. Lack of food, medicine , etc . What is the basis of repeating term1 day1 ? Pls consider safety's of kids .

Ok

Coincidence? Rapid tests and a massive leap in covid infections. Why are we in a bigger mess now than 12 months ago with 90% vaccination rate. The only RATs 🐀 are those in the government, pharmaceutical sector and media who caused this plandemic and hysteria. GermWarfare
