NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says COVID-19 infections are expected to peak in the next two weeks after the state recorded 1,431 new cases and 12 deaths.
Key points:

There were over 827,000 COVID-19 jabs administered in NSW in the past week
A woman in her 30s died on Wednesday after being infected with COVID-19
There have been 119 COVID-19 related deaths in NSW since the start of the Delta outbreak

Friday's numbers were the highest daily infection figures ever recorded by an Australian jurisdiction in a day.

"The next fortnight is likely to be our worst in terms of the number of cases," she said.

"September and October will be the most challenging because we are going [to be] dealing with extra hospitalisations and extra ICU hospitalisations

"But we're also going through both the exciting but challenging time of opening up."

Ms Berejiklian said her government would next week release modelling that showed how many people it expected to end up in hospital with COVID-19 in September and October.

Let's wait and see.
All cases in Victoria have been lost so far.

NSW records 1,533 new COVID-19 cases, four deaths
as total infections in Wilcannia near 100

NSW broke its own COVID-19 records for a second consecutive day after 1,533 new infections, and four deaths, were identified in the 24 hours to 8:00pm yesterday.
Key points:

Yesterday was the second busiest day on record for NSW Ambulance
Health authorities continue to be concerned by case numbers in regional areas
Lifeline's John Brogden said the organisation was receiving more than 1,000 calls per day from people in NSW

While most of them were in Sydney's west and south-west, there is increasing concern about the deteriorating situation in the state's regional areas, where the virus is continuing to spread.

In the tiny town of Wilcannia, which has a high Indigenous population and is about 950km west of Sydney, almost 100 people have tested positive over the course of NSW's Delta outbreak.

Nine new infections yesterday brought the total number of cases in Wilcannia to 97 — that means roughly 13 per cent of people in the town have the virus.

On Thursday, the state reported almost 1000 people with Covid-19 were in hospital and 160 of those were receiving the most complex form of healthcare in intensive care units.

But that figure leaves out almost 1700 people who are receiving hospital-grade care for coronavirus in their own homes in NSW. Most of those are being monitored by staff from the swamped Westmead Hospital in the state’s Western Sydney Local Health District. Under these arrangements, patients who would otherwise be on the hospital ward are instead given oxygen and other support at home with scheduled visits from hospital staff.

At least eight people in the state have died at home since the Delta outbreak began. Some, who were being given home care, deteriorated so quickly from mild illness to death that there was no time for even an ambulance to be called. The coroner is investigating these deaths.

NSW records 1,485 new locally acquired

NSW identified 1,485 new locally acquired COVID-19 cases and three people have died in the 24 hours to 8:00pm yesterday.
Key points:

Two out of three people who died overnight had not been vaccinated for COVID-19
Public health modelling to be released this week predicts cases to peak within the next fortnight
Western NSW recorded 32 new cases, including 23 in Dubbo

It comes as Premier Gladys Berejiklian welcomed another milestone for the state, with 40 per cent of the population fully vaccinated.

"We should remember that while we are anticipating the peak of cases to occur in the next couple of weeks, we can foreshadow that once we hit the 70 per cent double dose that life will feel much better in NSW," she said.

There are currently 1,030 people in hospital with the virus, including 175 in intensive care.

Seventy-two of those require ventilation.

This guy seems a bit unhappy about it all:

Ahhh, but how many politicians have died?????

Until it starts being a threat to them, they will simply wring their hands, cry crocodile tears and say tut tut.

NSW recorded 1,281 new locally acquired COVID-19 infections in the 24 hours to 8:00pm yesterday.

There were five COVID-19 deaths in the reporting period.

A man in his 90s from south-east Sydney died at St George Hospital after contracting his infection at St George Aged Care Facility in Bexley, where he was a resident.

The other four deaths were aged between their 50s and 80s.

More to come.

Molnupiravir has been provisionally approved apparently. I'd much prefer this than multiple booster jabs.
