Modelling suggests ACT's daily COVID-19 cases may triple in the next three weeks due to spread of subvariants

ABC  

Canberrans have been warned that daily COVID-19 case numbers in the territory are likely to rise, possibly as much as tripling in the coming weeks. Key points: New modelling suggests Omicron subvariants could see the ACT's daily COVID-19 case numbers triple by next month Chief Health Officer Kerryn Coleman said she encourages returning to mask wearing, but will not mandate it Canberra Health Services say the system is pressured, with one in four junior medical workers not currently at work due to COVID-19 The ACT recorded 1,143 new cases of the virus in the 24 hours to 8pm last night, and authorities say modelling suggests these numbers will grow. ACT Chief Health Officer Kerryn Coleman said at a press conference on Monday that daily case numbers were expected to peak in late July or early August. "Modelling does show that daily COVID-19 case numbers are expected to continue to increase across Australia over the coming weeks, and these numbers are not expected to peak until later this month or early next month," she said. High demand for fourth vaccine dose President of the ACT branch of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, Simon Blacker, said he had seen a high take-up of second boosters since the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation last week recommended that Australians aged 30 and up receive a fourth dose of a COVID-19 vaccination.
