SA’s COVID-related deaths leap above 200

Two people are on ventilators.

Of the hospitalised patients, 63 are fully vaccinated, 17 are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated and 26 have an unknown vaccination status.

According to national statistics, 92.3 per cent of eligible Sxjmtzywouth Australians have had two vaccination doses.

Active cases across SA stand at 18,289.

Monday’s case figure was the fourth day in a row of falling infections after they spiked to 2307 on Thursday last week.

Premier Steven Marshall said the state’s case numbers meant it was on track to further ease local virus restrictions later this week.

The state’s COVID Ready Committee will meet before Friday to consider what changes can be made, considering the current rate of hospitalisations.
