QLD records 6 COVID-19 deaths and 14914 Cases
QLD has recorded 14914 cases of COVID-19, 6 deaths, with 556 in hospital and 26 in ICU.
The 6 people who have lost their lives to COVID were aged between 70 and 90 all of which had significant underlying health conditions.
Leaders from the states today will be discussing the reopening of schools and the expansion of the list of services that are considered “essential” and should be covered by new isolation exemption rules similar to rules already established in QLD which allow workers to return to work if they do not have COVID-19 symptoms and are fully vaccinated.
QLD health workers reportedly struggling with work shortages as Omicron spreads
QLD health workers are reportedly struggling with workforce shortages that have been felt across the health network; from General practices to hospitals and aged care as the Omicron Variant continues to spread across the state.
With the peak of the current wave not expected for another 2-3 weeks, concerns are mounting as GP surgeries across the South East have been hit particularly hard by staffing shortages.
