Australia's Covid-19 hospitalisation rate has fallen to its lowest in nearly three weeks, while a steady rate of daily infections raised hopes the worst of an outbreak fuelled by the Omicron coronavirus variant may have passed.
Hospital cases fell to about 4,600, with all states seeing a dip in admission numbers, after a peak of nearly 5,400 a week ago, Reuters reported.
“We've seen the peaks of Omicron, I think, come through in (New South Wales and Victoria),” Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who is under pressure over his handling of the Omicron wave, told a media briefing.
