COVID-19 update 11/01/22

Please attribute to Mackay HHS Executive Director of COVID-19 Julie Rampton

Mackay HHS has 629 new positive COVID-19 cases to make a total of 3006 active cases throughout the Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday local government areas.

Of these seven are in the COVID-19 Ward at Mackay Base Hospital and 43 are in Mackay Base Hospital Virtual Ward.

We believe the increase is due to a data backlog being resolved. The data is a combination of PCR testing done by the Mackay HHS, by private pathology providers and home RAT results people have lodged at https://www.qld.gov.au/rat-positive

For case numbers by local government area see Queensland COVID-19 statistics | Health and wellbeing | Queensland Government (www.qld.gov.au)

A total of 551 COVID-19 tests were done by Mackay HHS on 10 January 2022.

We continue to ask people to come forward for testing if they have any symptoms of COVID-19.

Everyone needs to consider any movement through the community as a risk for COVID-19 infection.

Please make sure you maintain social distancing, perform regular hand hygiene, monitor for symptoms and get tested if you develop any symptoms.

There is a raft of information on the Queensland Health website. Please see:

  • what to do if you have COVID-19
  • testing information and locations
  • quarantine for close contacts
  • managing COVID-19 in workplaces (information for businesses)
  • rules for travelling into Queensland
  • getting COVID-Ready
  • getting vaccinated in QLD.
