Overdose deaths up in Wellington area | Gippsland Times

Liz Bell MORE people died of overdoses in Wellington Shire at the height of the pandemic last year, with welfare and health experts attributing the increase to pandemic-related stress in the community and the ready availability of new psychoactive drugs and cocaine. Data from the Coroners’ Court reveals there were four fatal overdoses in Wellington Shire in 2020, an increase from two in 2019. While the rise appears small, support agencies say any increase is significant. On average, 2.8 people have fatally overdosed per year in Wellington Shire between 2011 and 2020. The Healthy Wellington report 2021-2025 reveals high drug use in the shire, with use and possession offences per 1000 population at 5.6, compared to the state average of 5.1.

COVID-19 and drug overdoses: Synthetic drug deaths spike, heroin deaths fall during pandemic

Advertisement The number of overdose deaths related to dangerous synthetic drugs which mimic the effects of “classic” illegal substances spiked dramatically in Victoria last year, while deaths involving cocaine and MDMA reached a 10-year high. Heroin-related deaths, however, fell to the lowest number since 2015, as the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the drug market and availability changed patterns of consumption, while pharmaceuticals remained the most frequent contributor to overdose deaths. New drug overdose death statistics released by the Coroners Court of Victoria on Thursday revealed there were 526 overdose deaths in the state last year, an increase of 10 from the year before.
