Seven new COVID-related deaths recorded in NSW

NSW Deputy Chief Health Officer Dr Marianne Gale says the state has recorded seven COVID-related deaths overnight. "As the minister said, tragically today, we announce the deaths of seven people who have lost their lives to COVID-19, four women and three men,” Dr Gale said. She said one person was in their 40s, one was in their 50s, two were in their 70s, two were in their 80s, and one person was in their 90s - and all had underlying health conditions. “One person was not vaccinated. Three people had received one dose of a COVID vaccine and three people had received two doses of a COVID vaccine. “And we do know that a number of those individuals who were vaccinated unfortunately had just received their COVID-19 vaccination not long before acquiring their illness, so we know in a number of cases, unfortunately, the vaccine didn't have enough time to provide the protection that we would have wanted.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
