Approximately 90 per cent of our total cases have not been considered fully vaccinated. Only 10 per cent of our cases have been fully vaccinated at the time of testing positive (breakthrough cases).

Additionally, 96 per cent of our hospitalised cases have not been fully vaccinated.

The daily number of tests over the past week has been between 1,000 and 2,000 per day.
