COVID-19 activity was stable at moderate to high levels in the past week. Influenza activity is low and has reached inter-seasonal levels. RSV activity is low and continuing to gradually decline.
COVID-19 activity increased across all indicators in the past fortnight. The proportion of ED presentations for COVID-19 requiring admission was stable suggesting no increase in disease severity. COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test positivity at sentinel laboratories was 12.0%. Most indicators of influenza activity are persisting in the community although PCR test positivity (4.7%) suggests it may be reaching the start of the inter-seasonal period. There was a 9.4% increase in RSV notifications, all in adults and potentially reflecting increased testing in the context of COVID-19 increases. However, overall RSV activity continues to gradually decline.
