Further to the above:
NSW Health’s Jeremy McAnulty said a teenager was one of 43 people currently in intensive care in NSW.
He said of 43 people in intensive care, one was a teenager, seven were in their 20s, three were in their 30s, 14 were in their 50s, 12 were in their 60s and six were in their 70s.
With previous outbreaks there were no young people in intensive care the nature of the disease has changed with this Delta variant. Previously it was rare for teenagers and school children to be affected, this is no longer the case.
