As COVID-19 testing has drastically decreased over the last few weeks, the daily estimate of active cases no longer provides a true representation of how COVID-19 is currently being transmitted within the community. 

Public Health will continue to provide an overall seven-day rolling average of positives and current hospitalisations each day. A detailed synopsis of the epidemiological week will continue to be published weekly in the Public Health Spotlight.

7-day rolling average – 1 August  = 44

Nine patients are currently hospitalised, of these eight are vaccinated with two doses.
