The case data provided in this report includes confirmed cases reported to the National Interoperable Disease Surveillance System (NINDSS). With the exception of Table 1, which is sourced from data reported by jurisdictions to the National Incident Centre, the case data in this publication does not include cases that are positive on rapid antigen tests (RAT) only. Therefore, case numbers, particularly since January 2022, will under-represent the incidence of disease in the community. Due to NINDSS transmission issues, data are not available since 6 April 2022 for the Northern Territory, and since 4 May 2022 for Western Australia.
Trends – In the last four weeks from 11 April to 8 May 2022, there were 466,855 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) reported in Australia. In the most recent fortnight, a total of 201,196 confirmed cases were notified (an average of 14,371 cases per day), compared to 245,659 in the previous fortnight (an average of 17,547 cases per day).
