MELBOURNE: Australia reported 1,607 new COVID-19 cases on Sunday as states and territories gradually shift from trying to eliminate outbreaks to living with the virus.

Premier Daniel Andrews said the state might reach that vaccination threshold around Oct 26. About 43 per cent of Victorian residents have been fully vaccinated and just over 46 per cent of people nationwide. Many social distancing restrictions will remain and retail and hospitality venues will be limited, but people will be free to leave their house without a reason.

The COVID-19 plan follows a federal scheme that will end lockdowns at a 70 per cent vaccination rate and gradually reopen international borders at 80 per cent.New South Wales has adopted a similar plan. Australia's most-populous state reported 1,083 cases on Sunday as it uses lockdowns and vaccination blitzes to fight an outbreak of the Delta variant that began in mid-June.

But, many are not know & unrealised how severe is the condition those hosptl'd (though not sent to ICU), if in fact Covid sickness is not severe, why those ppl still need to be hosptl'd? One needs to realize that.
