Premier Steven Marshall said the high number might be the result of late reporting of some deaths in aged care. "When I spoke to Professor [Nicola] Spurrier about this — because it did seem like an unusually large number — she said it's quite possible that it's an accumulation [across] a number of days," he said. "There is no urgent reporting requirement from residential aged care facilities into SA Health. "Nevertheless, [it's] very sad news and I express our sincere condolences on behalf of the state to those friends and family of the 11 deceased." Five of today’s deaths occurred in aged care facilities. The deaths include two men in their 50s, two men and a woman in their 70s, three men and a woman in their 80s, and two men in their 90s. The state recorded 3,777 new cases, an increase on previous days but still below the seven-day average. That brings the total number of active cases to 35,525. There are 290 people in hospital with COVID-19 and 29 in ICU. Mr Marshall said nine people were on ventilators, but SA Health later clarified that number stood at six. South Australia has reached its 90 per cent double-vaccination rate for people 12 and over, but the milestone has come three weeks later than authorities had hoped. Hospital reverses strict ban on partners during childbirth Lyell McEwin Hospital has reversed its tough restrictions that saw partners only allowed while women were in active labour and four hours after their baby's birth. The hospital, in Adelaide's north, announced today that, while final decisions were still being made, a support person would be allowed throughout an induction, the duration of labour and birth of a baby. Parents will also be allowed to "visit their newborn baby every day" but how long those visits could be, and whether partners would have to leave after the birth of a baby, has not yet been announced. Mr Marshall, who had ordered an urgent review of the restrictions, said he was "pleased that there's been a sensible resolution". "The partner will be available to be present during the induction, the birth, they'll be able to visit on a daily basis," he said. "There will still be some restrictions but I think this is a sensible outcome." The South Australian Premier says his government will not be signing up to a five-day isolation period for people who test positive to COVID-19. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said yesterday a 5-day period is "under active consideration" but that the federal government will take medical advice on any possible change. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 20/1/2022 ACT ACT recorded 892 NEW CASES , ACT local total for DELTA - OMICRON WAVE now 25308 cases. ACT recorded 0 delta deaths.. ACT Health has mandated reporting of +ve RATs. ACT Reff = 1.12 ACT LOCAL DAILY CASES [IMG] https://i.postimg.cc/pTjF4bJz/20jan2022-DAILY-LOCAL-CASES-ACT.png [/IMG] COVID-19 case numbers in the ACT have nearly halved in the past day, falling below 1000 for the first time in more than a week. Thursday saw the national capital record 892 new infections, with 254 coming from PCR tests, while the remaining 648 were from rapid antigen tests. Despite the fall in new cases hospitalisations rose slightly with 62 patients now being treated, up from 60 the previous day. 5 are being treated in intensive care, an increase from the three recorded on Wednesday, while there are two patients on a ventilator. It comes as ACT health authorities revealed 80 per cent of those hospitalised with COVID-19 in the territory are unvaccinated The number of active cases in Canberra has plummeted by about one-third in the past day alone. There are now 4447 active cases in the ACT, down from more than 6600 the day before. Vaccination rates have climbed to 34.7 % of Canberrans over 18 having had their booster shot. The ACT government on Wednesday lowered the waiting time for people to receive their booster shots from four to three months since their second dose. Almost 38 % t of five to 11-year-olds have received their first vaccine dose. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 20/1/2022 TAS TAS recorded 927 new cases , TAS local total for DELTA - OMICRON WAVE now 22171 cases.

The plan will stay in place for the first five weeks of the ten-week term but Premier Peter Gutwein said some elements could stay for the whole year. He said he understood some parents were feeling worried. "We want to make sure that the plans we have in place, like masks and testing, are copied and mirrored in our schools to make sure our schools have a sufficient level of resources so they can support students if they need it." Who gets the rapid antigen tests and masks ? The COVID-19 pack will include two rapid antigen tests per child, for use if a child becomes unwell or symptomatic. "Students should only test if symptomatic and they should stay home if the result is positive," Mr Gutwein said. "There is no need for daily testing." High school students will have to wear surgical masks — but primary school children won't. High schools will have a supply on hand if students do not have their own. Mr Gutwein said the government had 1.6 million masks and 500,000 rapid antigen tests in stock, with another 800,000 RATs expected to arrive in the next week. He said it was anticipated 1.5 million RATs would be needed over the five weeks. A total of 7.5m have been ordered. The masks and RATs will also be available to students in the independent and Catholic education systems. How are schools being modified ? Windows are being modified across Tasmanian classrooms to make sure they open and classrooms are well-ventilated. For classrooms not on the periphery, 4,500 air purifiers are being installed. The Premier said outdoor spaces were being optimised where possible to allow outdoor learning and school breaks will be staggered so students are not all gathering outside at the same time. What happens if there's a positive case in a classroom? The Deputy Director of Public Health Scott McKeown said the definition of close contact would be managed differently in the school setting than in the home. If there is a single case in a classroom, parents and carers of will be told to monitor for symptoms in their child. "They will be able to continue school," he said. "They won't be defined as close contacts because the level of exposure is different." If there are five or more cases in a classroom within seven days, an outbreak management team will be put in place. Any child who is a close contact of a household case will have to follow existing quarantine guidelines and stay home for at least seven days, with testing on day one and six. What happens if teachers get sick ? The Premier said the Department of Education was making sure there was a pool of teachers available if lots of teachers had to take time off because of COVID-19. There are currently 1,700 relief teachers on the register and 400 recently-retired staff who could be re-employed if teacher shortages became an issue. Like healthcare and aged care workers, they would be eligible for exemption from close contact isolation rules if were not symptomatic. "They will be able to return to school, even if they are a close contact, but they will have to be rapid antigen tested on a daily basis," the Premier said. What if my child is medically compromised? The Premier said schools would contact parents of medically compromised students individually. "Students with a disability or who are medically vulnerable will continue to be supported on an individual basis on the basis of their medical action plan, " he said. "Each school will reach out to parents and carers … prior to school returning to discuss their child's individual plan." What if my child gets COVID and I need to care for them? Mr Gutwein reminded parents and carers they could be eligible for a pandemic grant of $750 if they did not have any relevant leave entitlements and needed to care for a child who had to stay home from school with COVID-19. If they needed to get tested or vaccinated, they could be eligible for a $250 payment. [/QUOTE]
