BREAKING: 2743 people are in hospital with coronavirus, with 209 of those in ICU. FULL STORY:
There are 2743 people in the state’s hospitals with coronavirus, with 209 of those in intensive care, down from 2781 and 212 respectively on Thursday.
Hospitalisations had risen each day since December 18, when there were 206 people in hospital with the virus and Omicron began eclipsing the Delta variant in NSW. “What we’re seeing not just in NSW but other states as well is there was a very sharp rise in cases before the peak was reached, but it’s coming down very slowly and very bumpily. We’ll keep seeing that,” he said.
