COVID-19 Wave: “There is a new variant of COVID-19. It is circulating in the community and it poses a significant new threat…it is because it’s much more infectious than earlier variants – this is the BA.5 variant and BA.4 to a certain extent. And it’s also very good at escaping immunity” – Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly.
“There were 300,000 cases, or thereabouts, cases reported over the last 7 days…(We) are pretty confident that the real number is likely to be more than double that. We are seeing hundreds and hundreds of thousands of Australians infected every single week in this wave” – Federal Health Minister Mark Butler.
