[QUOTE="kingofnobbys, post: 1978749, member: 81934"] 21 December = DELTA WAVE Day 187 & OMICRON TSUSAMI Day 13 < continued > Rest of Australia outside NSW VIC 21/12/2021 NSW NSW recorded 1243 LOCAL cases , NSW local total for DELTA WAVE now 129369 cases. 875 mystery cases. 6 repats from o/seas. VIC recorded 6 delta deaths.. NSW POISITIVITY = 1.86% NSW Reff = 1.04 Covidiot so called "freedom" protests have continued in Melbourne CBD. [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/d3mQL30C/21dec2021-vic-positivity.png[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/FR0NBz36/21dec2021-victoria-delta-wave-D65-on.png[/IMG] Victoria has not ruled out tightening indoor mask mandates, but will not turn to wholesale restriction changes for Christmas gatherings and major events to stave off an Omicron case spike. Chief Medical Officer Dr Paul Kelly has urged all state and territory chief health officers to mandate masks in all indoor settings, citing rising case numbers for the new COVID-19 variant. cting Premier James Merlino says Victoria will take Dr Kelly's advice on board before making a decision on reintroducing compulsory masks in hospitality and entertainment venues. "Mask wearing is a prudent common-sense measure. It can be inconvenient but it's a small inconvenience for a significant public health benefit," Mr Merlino told reporters on Tuesday. "There's no restrictions on getting together with loved ones, with family and friends to celebrate Christmas, to celebrate New Year, to enjoy the summer. None of those things are changing." No change will be made to the unlimited crowd cap for the Boxing Day Test at the MCG, despite fears it could become an Omicron superspreader event. "The contract with people of Victoria (was) get vaccinated and that means an end to lockdown, it means enjoying events," he said. In the absence of Premier Daniel Andrews, Mr Merlino will stand-in as the Victorian representative at Wednesday's "informal" virtual meeting of national cabinet, joining other states to call for a shorter COVID-19 vaccine booster interval. "I want it as short as possible," Mr Merlino said. No new Omicron cases have been identified in Victoria in the 24 hours to Tuesday, after the state added a further 1245 new COVID-19 infections and six deaths. Victoria's testing system continues to buckle under the weight of people seeking testing in the lead up to Christmas. At least 15 testing sites were temporarily closed at 9am after reaching capacity, including the Bourke Street walk-in and Albert Park drive-through. Queues eased after the morning peak, enabling several sites to reopen. In response to overwhelming demand, a new testing site opened at Town Hall on Tuesday and will operate until January 24 . >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ACT 21/12/2021 ACT ACT recorded 15 LOCAL cases , ACT local total for DELTA WAVE now 2153 cases. 4 mystery cases. 1 repats from o/seas. ACT recorded 0 delta deaths.. 21/12/2021 ACT To limit community transmission of COVID-19 and to keep the community safe from the Omicron variant of COVID-19, the ACT Government has reintroduced the mandatory use of face masks when in an indoor place from 11.59pm Tuesday 21 December 2021. The ACT government is reintroducing an indoor mask mandate and a limit on visitors to aged care homes, in a bid to slow the spread of the Omicron variant. From tomorrow, Canberrans must wear a mask in all indoor settings — a measure that was dumped on November 12. Indoor settings include indoor retail settings, indoor workplaces, hospitality venues, and on public transport. Masks can be removed during vigorous exercise, when eating or drinking at a cafe or bar, or when communicating with someone who is hearing impaired. Visitor caps have also been reintroduced for ACT aged care facilities. Aged care residents will be restricted to five visitors per day, with a maximum of five at any one time. There is no limit to visitors for end-of-life residents. ACT acting chief minister Yvette Berry said the new restrictions were in response to the "escalation of Omicron cases" in the territory. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> QLD 21/12/2021 QLD QLD recorded 85 LOCAL cases , QLD local total for DELTA WAVE now 501 cases. 67 mystery cases. 1 repats from o/seas. QLD recorded 0 delta deaths.. 21/12/2021 QLD New quarantine requirements for casual and close contacts will be brought forward to 1am tomorrow based on advice from the Chief Health Officer. Deputy Premier Steven Miles announced double vaccinated close contacts will now only have to isolate for seven days, rather than 14 days, beginning on Wednesday. Those people will need to return a negative PCR test on day zero and day five of the quarantine period, Chief Health Officer Dr John Gerrard said. 'This is consistent with the national guidelines,' Dr Gerrard said. The increase in positive cases reported between Monday and Tuesday was due to the sharp rise in the numbers of tests. New contact tracing locations exist across: Brisbane Gold Coast Sunshine Coast Darling Downs Townsville Cairns The first stage of the Palaszczuk Government’s regional quarantine facility at Wellcamp has been completed construction and is almost ready to take the first arrivals in 2022. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SA 21/12/2021 SA SA recorded 153 LOCAL cases , SA local total for DELTA WAVE now 635 cases. 127 mystery cases. 1 repats from o/seas. SA recorded 0 delta deaths.. 21/12/2021 SA As of today, vaccinated people who have arrived into SA from Victoria, NSW or ACT are no longer required to have a COVID test upon arrival or on day 6. They must still have a negative test result in the 72 hours prior to arrival in SA. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> WA 21/12/2021 WA WA recorded 1 case , 1 repats from o/seas. WA recorded 0 delta deaths.. 21/12/2021 WA Two new cases in WA linked to Qld Contact tracing is underway in Western Australia after two people tested positive to COVID-19 after arriving on a flight from Brisbane. The duo, aged in their 30s, arrived on Sunday night on flight VA470, hours before WA's reintroduced hard border to Queensland came into effect. A Health on Tuesday said the pair were in self-quarantine and four of their close household contacts had tested negative. A fifth person was awaiting a test result. Authorities have so far identified two exposure sites: 7-Eleven in Midland and the Virgin domestic terminal at Perth Airport. Other passengers from the flight are asked to monitor for symptoms and comply with testing requirements. The state's plan to lift travel restrictions from February 5 has been clouded by a dramatic rise in cases in NSW and Victoria. Western Australia has tightened its travel rules for Queensland and Tasmania in a new border crackdown, just days before Christmas. People travelling from those states will be forced into quarantine after outbreaks in each state. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TAS 21/12/2021 TAS TAS recorded 35 LOCAL cases , TAS local total for DELTA WAVE now 25 cases. 0 mystery cases. 0 repats from o/seas. TAS recorded 0 delta deaths.. 21/12/2021 TAS Tasmania has reported four new coronavirus cases as the state's health department boosts testing capacity amid a Christmas-time surge. The infections, recorded in the 24 hours to 8pm on Monday, bring the island's number of active cases to 14. Tasmania was virus-free when it reopened borders to fully vaccinated travellers on December 15 and has recorded at least one case a day since. "I can understand that there is some anxiousness and that's quite okay," Premier Peter Gutwein told reporters on Tuesday. "As we move forward we need to learn to live with COVID. While some people would prefer us to stand still, we need to keep moving forward." All of the active cases are being managed at home or in a community facility. Tasmania's public health department has declared more than 80 exposure sites, with 12 considered close contact scenarios, 20 casual contact and 51 low risk. Mr Gutwein flatly rejected suggestions from the state Greens that Tasmania should close its borders again to Victoria, NSW and the ACT. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NT 21/12/2021 NT NT recorded 13 LOCAL cases , NT local total for DELTA WAVE now 140 cases. 1 mystery cases. 1 repats from o/seas. NT recorded 0 delta deaths.. 21/12/2021 NT The Northern Territory has detected 14 new COVID-19 infections as Omicron arrives in Central Australia. Most of the new cases are linked to a Delta outbreak that started in the Top End, with 11 positive tests among residents from Katherine and the Tennant Creek area. The Omicron variant has been detected in Yulara, 450km southwest of Alice Springs and next to Uluru, after two infected men in their 20s flew from Brisbane to the tourist hotspot last week. They have now passed the virus to a man in his 30s from the outback community of about 1000 people, which is 18km from the world heritage listed rock. Authorities are yet to confirm the third case is also infected with the new variant. Two travellers have also been diagnosed with COVID-19, including a crew member who worked on a recent Qantas flight from London to Darwin. All the new cases are quarantined or in hospital, with one woman in her 60s in Royal Darwin Hospital's intensive care ward. The current community outbreak in the NT sits at 123 cases, with more expected in Indigenous communities where vaccination rates remain low. [/QUOTE]
