COVID by the numbers – Monday – 4 new Hawkesbury cases – learn to live alongside virus, says Premier

Oct 11, 2021

 

Welcome to Monday afternoon and the latest in-depth Hawkesbury numbers and COVID local news – the numbers are up to 8pm on Sunday night.

This is the most up-to-date round-up of Hawkesbury COVID numbers you can get, compiled by numbers guru Kevin Pollard using NSW Health datasets.

 

Our thanks, as always, to Kevin for putting the numbers together in this easily accessible format.

 

Coupled with our regular news updates when we hear about new COVID venues, this builds into a useful daily source of information for Hawkesbury residents.

 
 

Today’s headlines:

 

* Premier Dominic Perrottet warned on the first day of reopening NSW, that it will lead to an increase in COVID infections and hospitalisations but the government had invested “significant amounts” in the health system. “But we can’t stay closed. We need to learn to live alongside the virus,” Mr Perrottet said.

 

* Today there are 4 new COVID cases in the Hawkesbury – 2 are from an unknown source and not linked.

* There are 17 active COVID cases in the Hawkesbury (was 15 yesterday)

 
 

Premier Perrottet and Ministers have a drink to celebrate NSW opening up. You cannot ‘vertically drink’ at a pub or bar. Under the current rules, you must be seated…wonder if they’ll cop a fine…

 

* There are 320 active COVID cases (was 338 yesterday) in the Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District, which includes the Hawkesbury.

 

* There was no COVID health update for the first time since the early days of the Delta outbreak although the Premier did hold a 10am press conference (and had a beer and a haircut) where he briefly touched on the numbers, although there was no detail.

 

* Every LGA in NSW has now passed 70% first dose except Edward River (which includes the town of Deniliquin) on 62.7%.

 

* Cases in Singapore the last 7 days – remember they have a 90%-plus vaccination rate: 2809, 3703 (a record), 3590, 3483, 3577, 3486, 2475. 98 of 162 pandemic deaths in Singapore have come in the last 20 days.

 

* When Greater Sydney entered lockdown on June 26 – 392,527 people (or 6.8% of those aged over 18) across NSW were fully vaccinated. Now leaving lockdown, 106 days later, 4.91 million people across the state are fully vaccinated (or 74.2% of those over 16).

 

* NSW will likely reach 80% fully vaccinated (those 16 and over) by Saturday, October 16 with more restrictions lifted the following Monday, October 18.

 

* There are currently 6731 active cases (was 6938 yesterday) active cases in NSW.

 

* Of the 496 new NSW cases (was 477 yesterday) reported to 8pm, Sunday, October 10 – 23 (was 20 yesterday, 41, 35, 20, 33, 28, 15, 42 the days before that) are from Nepean Blue Mountains LHD, which includes the Hawkesbury.

 

* There have been 63,338 locally acquired cases reported since 16 June 2021, when the first case in this outbreak was reported.

 

* There were 83,948 COVID tests reported to 8pm last night, compared with the previous day’s: 86,155, 79,894, 103,388, 112,186, 90,680, 85,642, 76,892, 88,210, 98,266 and 112,334 tests.
