COVID NUMBERS

Daily data is no longer being published on the Victorian coronavirus site, with the Department of Heath's social media team stating weekly reporting will 'help reduce fluctuations in data.' 

The site now only reports data as a weekly average, on a Friday. We'll continue to share the data that's available, for as long as it's published. 

From 6 January - 12 January, Victoria recorded:  

7908 total cases for the past week (-35.5%)
21 COVID deaths on average each day over the past week 
473 cases in hospital (7 day rolling average) with 18 in ICU (7 day rolling average)

Cumulatively this equals:

6,638 Victorian COVID deaths 
2,840,998 cases recovered
