Covid update - Thursday
4th November 2021
COVID UPDATE - THURSDAY NOVEMBER 4 103 NEW LOCAL CASES There were 309 new cases reported statewide in the past 24 hours, with 103 of those in the Hunter-New England health district. It should be noted, though, that the bulk of those new cases are not in the Lower Hunter Region, with just 9 new cases in the Lake Macquarie LGA and 4 in Newcastle. The other good news is that local hospitalisation numbers have again dropped - we now have just 14 people in hospital with four of those in ICU, so the vaccines are doing their job.
