DECREASING LEVELS OF COVID-19 ACTIVITY

Victorian data taken from Victorian COVID-19 Surveillance Report 28 June.

The number of people in hospital with COVID-19 has decreased this week. The 7-day average is 254 (week ending 25 June), compared to 311 last week.

Deaths have increased. In the most recent 28-day period (15 May 2024 - 11 Jun 2024) there were 212 COVID-19 associated deaths. Increases and decreases in the reporting of deaths attributable to COVID-19 tend to lag waves of infections and hospitalisations by several weeks.

Globally, JN.1 is the most prevalent variant. KP.3 and KP.2 are the fastest growing JN.1 sublineages. They were declared Variants Under Monitoring by WHO on 3 May 2024.

KP.3 has been the most prevalent JN.1 sublineage in Victoria to date.
