Notes

This week includes data for the 7 days ending 4pm 28 September 2023. Last week includes data to the week ending 4pm 21 September 2023. Numbers of cases are based on date of notification to NSW Health. COVID-19 related deaths are notified to NSW Health from a range of sources and not all deaths reported by NSW Health occurred in the week in which they are reported, as there is sometimes a delay between a death occurring and it being notified to NSW Health.
