Suburbs in Ipswich, inner Brisbane and the Gold Coast have been revealed as infection hotspots as Omicron sweeps the state.

New Queensland Health Covid-19 data, analysed by the Courier-Mail, has revealed the number of infections recorded in each suburb (SA2 area) across the state since the start of the Omicron wave in mid-December.

The data shows Redbank Plains, in Ipswich, had recorded 428 Covid-19 cases between December 13 and January 4—the highest of any suburb in Queensland.

The Courier-Mail earlier this week reported the Ipswich Hospital emergency department was “sinking fast” with no beds available and those with severe Covid symptoms treated in hallways alongside other vulnerable patients in a virus breeding ground.
