Of the 7 fatalities, 2 were aged in their 80s and 5 were aged in their 90s - none had received a booster dose of a vaccine. All had underlying health conditions. he latest case figures released today come from 30,963 PCR tests and 4576 reported rapid antigen tests. Queensland has also updated its definition of an active case to bring it in line with other states and territories, lowering its overall total to 86,953. Health Minister Yvette D'Ath said 702 coronavirus patients were requiring hospital care, with 40 in ICU and 15 on ventilation. Ms D'Ath said the number was a major rise compared with yesterday's 649 as she appealed for people to get their booster shots. "So quite a jump, 50 additional people in hospitals, in our public hospitals, in the past 24 hours," Ms D'Ath said. "Thankfully, we don't see the corresponding increase in ICU, but we want the least amount of people needing to be hospitalised, and it comes down to getting your vaccination and your booster shot." Chief Health Officer John Gerrard today provided new statistical evidence to highlight the risk of hospitalisation for unvaccinated people. "Our statisticians have been busy at work looking at the intensive care units, and what they have found is if you are unvaccinated in Queensland, you are 24 times more likely to be admitted to a Queensland intensive care unit than someone who was triple vaxxed. "I will say that extraordinary statistic again. If you are unvaccinated, in Queensland, you are 24 times more likely to end up in an intensive care unit than someone who was triple vaccinated. Dr Gerrard said that almost 1 million Queenslanders have received a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Major school outbreaks expected Dr Gerrard admitted there will be "significant" coronavirus outbreaks when Queensland school reopen next month. The state's school reopening has been pushed back two weeks to Monday, February 7. But Dr Gerrard said while he expected large numbers of students to be infected, the overwhelming symptoms would be mild for them. Education Minister Grace Grace also said the planned extra week to the school year would not be needed after talks with education stakeholders. "I am satisfied that the full curriculum can now be delivered in the condensed semester. That is over the next two terms. "This means that the proposed extra week at the end of the school year will not be required." UNVAXXED COPS FACE THE SACK Almost a thousand police staff are off work because they have contracted COVID-19 or are close contacts, Queensland's Deputy Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski says. The numbers come just days after the Queensland border was removed, in a bid to free up police officers and bring them back to the frontline, after more than 400 days on the state line. Mr Gollschewski told ABC Radio the latest figures indicated that 967 members of the Queensland Police Service were in isolation, while 347 police officers were confirmed to have contracted COVID-19. "I don't have the aggregated number but it would be well up over 500 officers by now and probably about 800 to 900 members all up," he said. "We've been very fortunate we haven't had anyone seriously ill." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 17/1/2022 WA WA recorded 12 +ve PCRs , WA local total for DELTA - OMICRON WAVE now 123 cases.

Their known close contacts are currently being investigated and will be directed to get tested and self-quarantine immediately. The other 9 cases relate to returned interstate travellers and are in self-quarantine.

All positive crew members on board these vessels are isolating in their cabins and being monitored safely. Testing advice People are urged to continue to check the exposure sites page of the HealthyWA website for updates, and if they have been to an exposure site to follow the listed health advice.
