(Sydney Composite Television)Crown disease confirmed cases exceeded 37,000 yesterday, reaching a new high.Although the increasing rate of cases is amazing, the Morrison government has stated that the consequences of Omikon's mutant strains are mild, so Australia can continue to promote economic restart plans.
Australia ’s nationwide number of new cases yesterday exceeded 37,150, exceeding the original record of the 35,327 that just set on Saturday.This new data does not include the situation of the two states that are not as good as notified.Monday of many states reaches new cases, including Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, and the Australian capital.There are eight states and territories in Australia.
The largest population of New South Wales added 2000,794 cases, which was higher than 18,278 on Sunday, which was only a newer high day high than 22,577 on Saturday.It is worth noting that the number of tests on the New Year's weekend is lower than usual.The number of hospitalizations of NSW yesterday increased to 1204, more than 10%more than Sunday, which was more than three times the day of Christmas.
Morrison: Don't pay attention to case data
However, Morrison believes that case data should not be the focus of attention."We must stop thinking about case data, but we must pay attention to severe disease, coexist with the virus, control our health, continue to monitor the symptoms, and let our economy continue to work."The federal government can no longer invest funds from large -scale in the past two years as to prevent virus transmission, so it will not provide fast detection kits for free."We have entered another stage of the epidemic, and we can no longer let everything free."
The Australian government called on the people to test quickly last month to slow down the pressure of the medical system.However, the shortage of fast detection kit supply, resulting in the price rose to $ 15 (about S $ 14.7) per set.
Australian Minister of Health Hunter said that Omikon has higher communication, but toxicity is lighter than other variants, so the risk of composition of individuals and medical systems is lower.
However, Bang Ning, chairman of the NSW Committee of the Australian Medical Association, pointed out that the hospitalization rate increased significantly, coupled with the increase in the festive holidays and the increase in medical staff who came into contact with crown diseases, making it difficult to deploy in the hospital.
Albani, the leader of the Opposition Labor Party, criticized the government to respond to the improper epidemic in Omircong, saying that many cases have not been found.
He said that this major epidemic has lasted for two years, and the government has enough time to prepare, but it calls on people not to go to the medical center for testing, but instead "cannot buy it.Can't afford "fast antigen detection."This is the failure of a public policy. This is what the country has never seen before."
As of the end of 2021, 94.3%of Australia's population of 16 and over has been inoculated at least one dose of crown disease, 91.3%Have been completed.
