Note: A technical issue impacted processing of Covid-19 cases on CIDR on 2/11/2021 resulting in an artificially low number of notifications reported on CIDR on the 2/11/2021 and an elevated count on 3/11/2021. Given the impact on CIDR notifications for these days, the daily case numbers of 3,174 and 3,024 reported on the 3/11/2021 and 4/11/2021, respectively, are based on SARS-CoV-2 results uploaded to the COVID Care Tracker. The technical issue has been resolved and daily case reporting through CIDR will recommence in the coming days.
