Australia has recorded one of its highest number of deaths in a day from Covid-19 as an outbreak of the Omicron variant tore through the country which marked two years since its first infection of the coronavirus

Though Australia's states and territories are refraining from a return to the lockdowns which have defined the country's pandemic response, the most populous state, New South Wales, extended a mask mandate by a month, an example of the continuous disruption brought by the virus.

The state of South Australia recorded five deaths but its lowest number of daily infections since the start of the year and "we're absolutely delighted with that figure", premier Steven Marshall told reporters.Japan is set to more than double the number of regions under enhanced coronavirus curbs today, even as it sought to modify strategies to contend with the infectious Omicron variant that has fueled record numbers of cases.

The curbs will run from Thursday until 20 February, empowering regional governors to ask restaurants and bars to shorten business hours and stop serving alcohol. A government taskforce led by Prime Minister Fumio Kishidais set to formally approve the decisions later today. Pacific nations successfully used their isolation as a buffer to the pandemic when they closed their borders in early 2020.The Solomon Islands has reported a tenfold increase in infections since its first community case was detected in mid-January.

"I ask all residents living in the emergency zone to respect the lockdown and stay home so we can reduce transmission of the virus and control the current epidemic."

Blame Djocovik !!!!

Fuccine passports working like magic for them lmfao

You do realise your promoting false information especially “from koviddd” considering the truth is coming out as to the definition of with and from?

Same way they recorded that chap that was shot dead over there as a covid death 💀

The usual fear mongering headline. 75 people out of a population of almost 26million. Again can these amazing experts tell us how many died with Covid as opposed to from it? And as always no chance they can tell us how many acquired it in the hospital settings.

A master class in lying with statistics.

75, seventy fucking five and it tore through the country😂😂😂😂

With or from ?

Thank Christ they deported that tennis chap

Australia Covid-19 deaths rise as Omicron peaksAustralia has recorded another surge of deaths due to Covid-19 as an outbreak of the highly contagious Omicron variant peaked, and authorities warned numbers could rise further when schools return from end-of-year holidays next week. It's hard to look at the Covid policies of Australia and New Zealand as anything other than catastrophic strategic failures. No natural immunity and using obsolete social restrictions to attempt to eradicate Omicron. Bleak outlook for them. 58 deaths in a country of over 20m is not a surge. Stop fear mongering and using these poor people as overblown and poor presented statistics for it May they rest in peace Over 50s passed away unfortunately.
