This report (Epidemiology Report 57) covers a six-week period, including the Christmas period. Future reports, commencing with Epidemiology Report 58, will then be produced on a four-weekly schedule
The case data provided in this report includes confirmed cases reported to the National Interoperable Disease Surveillance System (NINDSS), which does not include cases that are positive on rapid antigen tests (RAT) only. Therefore, case numbers, particularly in recent weeks, will under-represent the incidence of disease in the community
In the last six weeks, there were over 1 million confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) reported in Australia, with fortnightly new cases increasing considerably over this period. In the most recent fortnight, a total of 800,642 confirmed cases were notified (an average of 57,189 cases per day), compared to 203,270 in the previous fortnight (14,519 cases per day), and 33,083 cases (2,363 cases per day) in the two weeks prior to that.
