[QUOTE="kingofnobbys, post: 1978170, member: 81934"] 11 December Delta in AUSTRALIA continued NT recorded 1 LOCAL CASE, 0 mystery case included..Their LOCAL total in this output is 70. ( count from yesterday amended by NT health ). NT recorded zero delta deaths.. The Northern Territory has recorded one new local COVID-19 case linked to the Katherine cluster, Health Minister Natasha Fyles says. Ms Fyles said the new case was a man in his 20s who tested positive to the virus during a COVID-19 testing blitz in Katherine East. It brings the total cluster in the current outbreak to 68. She said authorities were concerned by COVID-positive wastewater detected in Beswick and Barunga, two remote communities east of Katherine.“This is a concerning development to health authorities, as we weren’t expecting that,” she said. The community of Beswick, which Ms Fyles said has a vaccination rate of 64 per cent, will go into a three-day lockout from 2pm today. "We'll be sending our rapid response team down to Beswick and they'll go into a 72-hour lockout and we'll be providing vaccinations to really lift that rate," Ms Fyles said. Barunga, which has a higher vaccination rate of about 91 per cent, will be subject to a mask mandate for the next three days. An undetected COVID-19 case could be in Alice Springs, say authorities Wastewater in the Gillen and Northside catchments in Alice Springs has also tested positive to COVID-19, Ms Fyles said. Alice Springs is about 1,183 kilometres from Katherine, where most of the cases in the latest outbreak have been based. Ms Fyles said at this stage authorities "[couldn't] explain" the results, although they could have come from people undertaking home quarantine in Alice Springs who have COVID-19 but had not yet tested positive. She said that, given the town's high vaccination rate, no COVID-19 prevention measures would be put in place, but "we are watching Alice Springs very closely". Dr Pain said it was possible a COVID-19 case was moving about the community in Alice Springs. "We must be very cautious over these next 24-48 hours," he said. Restrictions in 'high-risk' Katherine East streets to drop tonight .Ms Fyles said the Chief Health Officer's direction requiring residents in four Katherine East streets to get tested before leaving home will expire at 6pm tonight. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> WA & TAS recorded 0 CASES & recorded zero delta deaths.. No known cases of OMICRON in WA and TAS. Western Australia will tighten its border controls with Queensland due to a Delta outbreak there, just days before WA sets a date to reopen its borders. Premier Mark McGowan says Queensland will be elevated from a "very low risk" to a "low risk" jurisdiction from 12.01am on Monday. That means travellers from the Sunshine State must be fully vaccinated, test negative and complete 14 days' quarantine on arrival in WA. Anyone already in WA who's been to a Queensland exposure site will need to quarantine for 14 days and get tested. Mr McGowan says the tightening is needed because Queensland has recorded seven local cases in the last two days and is easing its border restrictions on Monday. "With community spread now being experienced in Queensland and its expected move to relax border controls and quarantine requirements with COVID-positive jurisdictions, in the midst of Omicron, we need to take caution and strengthen our border controls with Queensland," he said in a statement on Saturday. He has promised to reopen once 90 % of eligible West Australians ( > 12yo) are fully vaccinated and said he will set a date once WA hits 80 %. Some 88.42 % of WA residents older than 12yo have had one dose of a vaccine and 79.62 % are fully vaccinated. Mr McGowan said he expects to set the border opening date in coming days, possibly this week."As I've said, in coming days we expect to reach our 80 per cent double dose vaccination rate which means we can review the situation and confidently lock in a future date to proceed with our Safe Transition Plan next year," he said. "This is a timely reminder to get vaccinated. It will protect you, your family and your community." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> OMICRON IN AUSTRALIA SA Health has confirmed two local COVID cases reported in the state on Friday are the Omicron variant. Omicron variant in NSW. There were three new cases confirmed with the Omicron variant overnight, and more are expected as the results of genomic testing is confirmed. The public is being advised of two Sydney venues, visited by confirmed cases of COVID-19 likely to have the Omicron variant. The venues are the Cult Nightclub in Potts Point, and the Albion Hotel in Parramatta. Both venues have been visited by confirmed cases of COVID-19 linked to the previously reported outbreak on a party boat cruise on Sydney Harbour on Friday 3 December. It is likely some of these cases have the Omicron variant of concern. Anyone who attended the venue below at the times listed is considered a close contact. To date, no Omicron cases have been admitted to hospital in NSW for treatment of COVID-19. By state: NSW = 45 ACT = 5 NT = 1 QLD = 2 VIC = 1 SA = 2 TOT OMICRON = 56 IMPACT OF OMICRON ON AUSTRALIA"s VAXX BOOSTER SHOT ROLLOUT The federal government has acted on advice from the vaccine advisory body ATAGI, and the wait for a booster has been reduced from six months after a second vaccination to five. The decision to provide earlier access has been made to help slow the spread of the new variant — which does not appear to cause more serious illness — and to guard against any waning immunity over time. ATAGI had been considering whether to reduce the waiting period in line with the UK government. Just last week it advised there was not enough evidence to support such a move. "There is no evidence to suggest, at the moment, that an earlier booster does of the current covid-19 vaccines, will augment the protection against the omicron variant," Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly said on December 3. But much more has been learned about the Omicron variant since then, including its transmissibility, and the advice has now been changed. On Friday, premiers and chief ministers were advised by medical experts that the Omicron variant did not appear to be causing more serious illness, although there is still more to be learned. More than 670,000 Australians have already received a booster shot. Moderna receives final approval ATAGI has also given the final approval required for Moderna to be offered as a booster shot, alongside Pfizer. The Moderna booster dosage is half the usage dosage and will be accessible at community pharmacies and health clinics, subject to availability. The government recently bought 25 million doses of the Moderna vaccine, with 15 million of those slated to be used in the first half of 2022 as boosters. "Australia's whole-of-population booster program is supported by more than 151 million Pfizer, Novavax and Moderna vaccines secured for supply into the future," Health Minister Greg Hunt said. "Australia is well prepared to provide booster doses as approvals are provided by the medical experts." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NEW ZEALAND'S DELTA WAVE NZ recorded 62 local delta cases overnight , includes 1 mystery cases .Total of local Delta transmissions is now 9630.
