New South Wales reported 372 new locally-acquired COVID-19 cases on Thursday, and one additional death from the current outbreak. More than half of the new cases were in regional areas, include a spike in infections in local government areas near the Victorian border. Professor Catherine Bennett of Deakin University says it was to be expected that case numbers would rise in areas that have lower vaccination rates; she adds that it is too soon to know whether the state’s recent easing of COVID-19 restrictions has impacted on case numbers. Meanwhile, a Queensland man in his 30s has been hospitalised with COVID-19 after returning from a trip to Sydney and Melbourne.
