“The current COVID-19 wave appears to have plateaued, with several key measures – including active cases, cases in hospital and cases in intensive care – decreasing slightly for the first time in almost eight weeks,” Sutton said in his weekly COVID update.
There were 24,652 COVID cases reported in Victoria this week, an 11 per cent drop on the previous week’s total.On average, there were 3522 new cases reported each day, slightly down from the 3970 cases last week. More than 200 Victorian children have been hospitalised with COVID in the last three months, but the Health Department has warned that parainfluenza and adenovirus are also circulating among young children this summer.
Also of concern is an increase in cases of strep throat among children under the age of four. Strep throat is not a notifiable condition, with the exception of Group A Strep infections considered “invasive”.
