Full figures show sheer scope of Wide Bay HHS’s Covid response
The Wide Bay Hospital and Health Service has tested the equivalent of the population of Hervey Bay and quarantined an average of 38 people a week since the pandemic started.
Raw numbers reveal the scale of the Wide Bay HHS’s COVID-19 response.
Since the Australia’s first case was confirmed on 25 January 2020, Queensland has recorded 1,793 cases. Of these, 39 have been recorded in the Wide Bay region and all have since recovered.
“Around 80 per cent of Queensland’s cases have been acquired overseas, with a large portion detected in quarantine, and this is reflective in the Wide Bay HHS region,” Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said.
