SYDNEY, Jan 15 — Australia has likely neared the peak of its Omicron wave, authorities said today, but warned daily infections will linger near record levels for “the next few weeks” after more than 100,000 cases were reported for a fourth straight day.
“We are not through it yet and I think there are still going to be large number of cases diagnosed in Australia over the next few weeks,” Chief Health Officer Paul Kelly told a news briefing, referring to the Omicron outbreak. Most states are battling record hospitalisations during the Omicron wave, with authorities saying unvaccinated younger people forming a “significant number” of admissions in Australia.
