Hospital admissions for Covid-19 in Australia have reached a new high for a second straight day, data showed on Tuesday, while the daily death toll rose to its second-highest as an outbreak fuelled by a coronavirus sub-variant sweeps the country.
Nearly 5 600 patients infected with Covid are in hospital while 100 new deaths were reported, just short of a record 102 deaths on Saturday.
Nearly 330 000 infections have been reported over the last seven days but authorities say the real numbers could be double that. – Reuters
