Australia has been experiencing an eighth wave of the virus as case numbers increased. But it appears to have peaked in some jurisdictions.
To get a good sense of where we’re at, we should know each state and territory’s current situation.
ACT: Cases have been increasing since September but hospitalisations, ICU cases and deaths are “remaining stable”.
NSW: NSW Health says case numbers were up by about 20 per cent in the last reporting fortnight (which ended two weeks ago on November 18). Case numbers now are stable at “moderate to high levels”.
NT: Case numbers have increased in the past month. Hospitalisations are down from last week, but still higher than last month.
Queensland: New cases have slowed over the past fortnight, with the hospitalisations being “fairly static” at a plateau of about 200 to 230 inpatients.
Victoria: Cases are higher than they have been in recent months, but lower than the peak earlier this year. Case numbers appear to have stabilised compared to last week.
WA: New case numbers were increasing, but the wave appears to have reached a peak. Consider wearing a mask in crowded indoor settings or where physical distancing isn’t possible.
