A new wave of Covid-19 infections is looming in New South Wales, the state’s chief health officer, Dr Kerry Chant, has warned, with transmission of the virus predicted to increase in coming weeks.
It follows Victoria’s chief health officer, Prof Brett Sutton, making a similar announcement last week, with Omicron subvariants BQ.1 and XBB tipped to overtake BA.5 as the dominant variants throughout Australia.
