Queensland records another 13 COVID deaths, 878 people in hospital

Three were unvaccinated, one had received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and nine were fully vaccinated.Dr Gerrard said the number of people in hospital on the Gold Coast has "declined slightly every day for the past four days".

"We won't know for a week or so when we hit the general peak for Queensland, particularly for south-east Queensland, exactly how high that peak of hospitalisations would be but we were certainly anticipating several thousand people in hospital."Vulnerable Queenslanders told to get booster, minimise movements

"Of course the Gold Coast has seen higher figures than Brisbane and the regions but we expect that Brisbane will essentially be reaching its peak over the next couple of weeks and of course some parts of regional Queensland as well. Dr Gerrard said it was possible Queensland would see an "extension of the peak" when school recommences in two weeks.

Victoria promising Covid milestoneVictoria has reported a big drop in Covid cases in the past 24 hours, marking the lowest daily tally in weeks. If positive tests aren't being reported, & testing counts are decreasing, positive cases cannot rise. Ahh the successes (and loopholes) of the honour system. NSW will be 15 cases soon to be zero in no time. LesMiz2020 Any mention in News.com.au another 58 deaths nationally. Thats 862 dead Australians since 2nd January Big drop in testing numbers too. Lowest for months.
