COVID Update - Wednesday January 12, 2022

As at 7pm on January 11, there were 333 positive cases of COVID-19 in the North West. Of these, 42 were reported in the last 24 hours. This includes three cases in a single COVID-19 cluster in Burketown who have recently returned home in the same vehicle.

North West Hospital and Health Service have aligned COVID-19 daily reporting with the Queensland Health’s COVID-19 statistics webpage, found here: https://bit.ly/covid-19-statistics-qldhealth. These figures are updated daily and reflect the latest numbers as at 7pm on the previous day and include a location breakdown of cases.

Given widespread transmission of COVID-19, community members are strongly urged to consider any movement through Queensland as a risk for infection. This is particularly the case in vulnerable communities. Ensure social distancing is maintained, perform regular hand hygiene, wear masks when required and monitor for symptoms.
