ACT COVID case numbers continue steady decline

The ACT continues to report a steady decline in the number of people catching COVID-19, recording 584 new cases.

Sunday’s figure compares with 620 new infections announced on Saturday, and not so long ago when 1000 cases daily had become the norm for a short period of time as the Omicron variant swept the Territory.

There are 4469 active cases in the Territory, which has left 62 patients in hospital, three of whom are in intensive care, one requiring ventilation.

The ACT continues to score well when it comes to vaccinations with 63.3 per cent of residents aged 5-11 having received one dose.

Almost 45 per cent of residents aged 18 and over have received their booster shot, while 98.6 per cent of those aged 12 and over are fully vaccinated with two doses.
