New COVID-19 modelling predicts more than 400 South Australian adults may need hospitalisation for the virus in the next week as new daily cases peak at 7,000.
New modelling shows a higher peak in hospitalisations and casesThe number of people currently hospital in the state fell below 300 todaySA Health has reported 4,172 new infections today, along with three deaths — of a woman in her 50s, another in her 80s and a man in his 70s."These numbers do bounce around — as people would be familiar from day to day — but we are seeing an average upwards trajectory in terms of hospitalisations at the moment," Health Minister Chris Picton said.
"That clearly points to the pressure on our health system, the pressure to make sure we find available capacity in our health system for people who need admission for COVID," Mr Picton said.
