January 13, 2022: Hospitalisations, ICU, ventilation have all more than doubled since January 1
By Peter Holmes
There were 23 people with Covid in hospital across the Western NSW Local Health District in the 24 hours up to 8pm on Wednesday night.
There were no people in ICUs.
Across the state 22 people with Covid died: 13 men and nine women.
One person was aged in their 60s, eight people were aged in their 70s, seven people were aged in their 80s, five people were aged in their 90s and one person was aged more than 100.
Of the 22 people who died, 14 were vaccinated and eight were not vaccinated.
There were 2,383 Covid cases in hospital in NSW (up from 901 on January 1), including 182 people in intensive care (up from 79 on January 1), 60 of whom require ventilation (26 on January 1).
From January 12 you have been able to report your positive rapid antigen test via the Service NSW app.
If you don't have access to the app, you can report results on the Service NSW website or call Service NSW on 13 77 88. Do not attend a service centre.
Up to 8pm last night there were 552 new cases identified by PCR testing in the Western NSW Local Health District.
However this does not factor in positive test results from rapid antigen tests (RATs), meaning the true figures are potentially much higher.
The latest PCR testing figures for the 24 hours to 8pm Wednesday night:
Bathurst - 130 Blayney - 6 (2 Milthorpe) Bogan - 2 Bourke - 2 Brewarrina - 1 Cabonne - 11 (2 Molong, 2 Canowindra) Cobar - 9 Coonamble - 2 Cowra - 3 Dubbo - 155 (15 Wellington) Forbes - 15 Gilgandra - 1 Lachlan - 7 Mid-Western - 7 (3 Mudgee) Narromine - 12 Oberon - 10 Orange - 137 Parkes - 24 Walgett - 5 Warren - 2 Warrumbungle - 8 (3 Coonabarabran) Weddin - 3 (2 Grenfell)
