SYDNEY: The number of Australians admitted to hospitals with COVID-19 hit a record of about 5,450 on Monday , official data showed, as the spread of highly contagious new Omicron sub-variants strains the healthcare system nationwide.
The number of those in hospitals is the highest since the emergence of the coronavirus, exceeding January's high of 5,390 during the first wave of Omicron infections. Daily death tolls have also risen, topping 100 on Saturday for the first time. With several aged care centres battling a shortage of staff, the support of defence personnel in such facilities is to be extended until the end of September, Defence Minister Richard Marles said.
