New covid cases jump by more than 200

THERE have been 1449 new covid cases reported in the ACT this week, a steep rise on the 1194 cases reported last week.

The number of new COVID-19 cases is up by 255, according to ACT Health.

No one has died from covid during the latest reporting period.

ACT Health said it was unable to report hospitalisation numbers this week due to technical difficulties.

On the vaccination front, 78.5 per cent of people aged 16 and over have had three covid jabs.

“Unable to report … due to technical difficulties”. Presumably that is spin for “don’t want to report because the numbers have shot up” (or does it just mean that ACT Health can’t count beyond 60?)
