Covid case numbers are continuing to decline across NSW as reduced isolation periods are set to come into effect this week.

Figures from NSW Health show 3334 cases and 25 deaths were recorded in the latest 24 hour reporting period.

In the last week there was a 28.9 per cent decline in the number of new reported cases with 22,999 cases, down from 32,343 in the previous seven day period.

The trend has led to fewer hospitalisations with 1530 people in hospital with Covid-19 as of Wednesday – down from 1756 last week – and 29 people in ICU, down from 36.

NSW Health said the “current wave of transmission is in decline as evidenced by decreasing hospitalisations and PCR positivity”.

In a sign NSW is now living with the virus, the routine reporting of Covid-19 information including case numbers and deaths will be reported on a weekly basis – rather than daily – from tomorrow.

New isolation periods will also come into effect from tomorrow, cutting the isolation period from seven to five days except in vulnerable settings such as disability and aged care.

Isolation times were cut following a meeting of national cabinet last week.

NSW Health said it would continue to alert the public to any Covid-19 “developments of concern”.
