SA recorded 13 delta deaths.. SA Health has mandated reporting of +ve RATs. SA Reff = 0.76 SA PCR POSITIVITY = 17.8% SA DAILY CASES WITH CURVE [IMG] https://i.postimg.cc/bJGm3dFX/26jan2022-DAILY-LOCAL-CASES-SA-WITH-CURVE.png[/IMG] South Australia has revealed 13 more deaths among people with COVID-19 after a check on recent fatalities pushed the state's toll since the start of the pandemic to 87. Premier Steven Marshall said seven deaths were reported in the past 24 hours with checks on nursing homes revealing another six over an undisclosed period. He said with no requirement for those deaths to be reported immediately, health officials had reached out "proactively" to ensure the data was complete. "We don't want people to be alarmed," the premier said. "There are deaths in South Australia, there's no doubt about it. "What we want to do is create the fullest picture of exactly what that situation is." SA on Wednesday reported another 2401 new virus infections, up slightly from 1869 on Tuesday, which was the lowest daily total so far this year. Despite the rise, the figure was still down on the state's seven-day average of 2476. Hospital admissions rose by one to 288 with 26 people in intensive care including four on ventilators. Also on Wednesday, the state government unveiled a plan to fast track training for up to 200 newly registered pharmacists and pharmacy interns to join the state's vaccination program. "We are leaving no stone unturned in our effort to boost the vaccination workforce and bring on additional capacity wherever possible to get South Australians vaccinated and boosted," Mr Marshall said. "By the end of March, we know that approximately 1.2 million South Australians will be eligible for their booster dose and we're gearing up to ensure we can deliver boosters as quickly as possible." Aboriginal Congress calls for 'complete lockdown' of Central Australia. Health Minister Natasha Fyles disagrees. Central Australia's peak Aboriginal health body has warned "a Tsunami of COVID cases is coming" to the region and has called for a "complete lockdown" of the area to prevent further spread. Central Australian Aboriginal Congress acting chief executive Josie Douglas said the region had reached "breaking point" and a lockdown was a much-needed "circuit breaker" for health authorities to get on top of the outbreak. The NT government has already introduced lockouts, which limit the movement of unvaccinated people, in Alice Springs, Amoonguna, Yuendumu and Yuelamu. A separate lockdown is currently in place in the Utopia Homelands, a community that NT Health Minister Natasha Fyles says has a vaccination rate of about 40 per cent. Despite the plea from the congress, Ms Fyles says current health advice does not recommend plunging the entire region into lockdown. But Dr Douglas insisted existing measures do not go far enough. "The lockout is proving to be totally ineffective," she said. "People are moving in and around Alice Springs, moving from community to community. "The situation is Central Australia is dire." Dr Douglas wants an immediate seven-day lockdown, to be re-assessed at the end of the week and extended as needed. COVID-19 cases in Alice Springs and nearby Aboriginal communities have been steadily growing since the NT re-opened its borders in mid-December. "We believe there are far more positive cases in Alice Springs and remote communities than is being reported on," Dr Douglas said. "We need urgent action to get on top of the numbers before the numbers get away from us. "A lockdown buys us time." NTG says current health measures are 'proportionate' Ms Fyles said the government was following health advice, which at this stage did not recommend a full lockdown through Central Australia. "We believe that the public health measures that we have in place are proportionate," she said. Ms Fyles said although there was "certainly a lot of cases in Central Australia", the government had introduced a raft of measures to help keep people safe. This included a Territory-wide mask mandate, testing regimes for remote communities, and several lockouts in the region, which she said kept unvaccinated Territorians safe. "Our unvaccinated population are much more at risk and are also a much greater burden on our health system," Ms Fyles said. Low vaccination rates in some Central Australian communities In NT government-managed remote Aboriginal communities across Central Australia, the vaccination rate of residents five and older is just 61 per cent. Ms Fyles acknowledged the low vaccination rates in some communities, and said townships with low rates were more likely to be put into lockdown if cases surged. Many remote residents also have complex health conditions, making them vulnerable to severe COVID-19 disease, but chronic issues with overcrowding mean it is a struggle to self-isolate at home. There are currently outbreaks in many town camps across Central Australia, as well as in the Alice Springs Correction Centre. Ms Fyles did not completely rule out a future lockdown in Central Australia She said health authorities met every day to look at daily caseloads, the number of patients in hospital and vaccination rates. "Decisions are made each and every day and we're certainly very agile in those decisions and change them based on the health advice," Ms Fyles said. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 26/1/2022 ACT ACT recorded 896 NEW CASES , ACT local total for DELTA - OMICRON WAVE now 30558 cases.

The woman's death was reported on Wednesday, with the state recording 712 new cases. "(She) is an 80-year-old woman who was admitted to hospital on 13 January and was being treated in hospital for COVID pneumonia," Premier Peter Gutwein said. "I would like to pass on my sincerest condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of the woman." Mr Gutwein said the woman died on Tuesday. Tasmania has recorded 17 virus deaths in total - the majority occurring at the beginning of the pandemic during an outbreak in the northwest. The coroner is also investigating whether COVID-19 was a contributing factor in the death of a 36-year-old woman. There are 28 people with COVID-19 in hospital, with 11 of those being treated specifically for the virus. Two people are being cared for in intensive care. The remaining 17 people with COVID-19 in hospital are being treated for unrelated medical conditions. Tasmania has 5094 documented active cases, continuing a downward trend over eight days. [/QUOTE]
