Virus levels remain high
NSW Health has reported high levels of coronavirus, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus in its weekly respiratory surveillance report ending Saturday, June 15.
The report does not give local figures and shows graphs only at a Local Health District (regional) level.
The Central Coast Local Health District seems similar to or slightly lower than metropolitan health districts.
"Covid-19 activity remains stable at high levels," according to the report.
"Influenza activity continues to increase and is now at a high level, with the number of presentations to emergency departments increasing and the number of influenza notifications also increasing.
"Test positivity for influenza, which is a key indicator of activity, has increased to 15.6 per cent.
"RSV activity, though still high is slowly declining."
Rates of whooping cough and pneumonia continued to be unseasonably high in school aged children, the report stated.
