Victoria recorded 13,091 new Covid-19 cases and 14 deaths on Sunday after the state’s testing chief suggested the Omicron peak may have passed.
There are 1002 infected xjmtzywpeople in hospital with 120 in intensive care and 44 on ventilators.
The state has seen yet another drop in cases after 16,016 were recorded on Saturday, following 18,167 on Friday.
More than 93 per cent of eligible Victorians are fully vaccinated, while there are a mammoth 191, 058 active cases.
A total of 32, 435 PCR tests were taken on Saturday and 27,051 vaccines were administered at state hubs.
Covid commander Jeroen Weimar on Saturday said infections “don’t seem to be going up”, suggesting the state could already have passed its Omicron peak.
“The numbers are high, these are high numbers by any standard particularly given the cadence we had last year and the year before,” he said.
“If I look at the NSW numbers they’re on a similar kind of trajectory. We’re in a summer period and there’s a lot of people on holiday, a lot of people not going out and about as much as they otherwise might. Let’s see what happens post-Australia Day.”
Mr Weimar said the state was in a different position compared to the initial peak earlier in January.
