There were five Covid-19 deaths in the reporting period.<\/p>\n

There were 1071 cases in hospital, with 177 people in intensive care, 67 receiving ventilation.<\/p>\n

Of today’s cases, 44 were detected in the Western NSW local health district with a majority of those in Dubbo and Burke.<\/p>\n

Another case was also recorded in the mostly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander town of Wilcannia, where there are almost 100 infections.<\/p>\n

A man in his 90s from southeast Sydney died at St George Hospital after contracting his infection at St George Aged Care Facility in Bexley, where he was a resident.<\/p>\n

Chief health officer Kerry Chant said he had two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine but had “significant underlying conditions”. The other four deaths were aged between their 50s and 80s.<\/p>\n

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian released modelling which showed the state was likely to reach a peak in Covid-19 cases “in the next week or so”.<\/p>\n

“If too many of us do the wrong thing, there are too many super sporting events, we could see those numbers [change],” she said.<\/p>\n

Within the local government areas of concern, NSW Health is expecting it will record cases of 1100 to 2000 a day until mid-September.<\/p>\n

It is estimated that between 2200 to 3900 people will require hospitalisation.<\/p>\n

Berejiklian said that meant the likely peak in intensive care beds required would be early or mid October.<\/p>\n

“That is what the best modelling tells us at this stage but I do want to qualify that by saying that a number of variables are associated with that modelling,” she said.<\/p>\n
