Analysis in this report is based on the date on which the event was first received by the department. It may change as more information becomes available. Interpreting dataĭata presented in this report is updated daily.
When a case occurs in a new postcode it is included in the postcodes download and identified under the relevant new postcode number. When a case requires review and confirmation it is included in the local government area data under the heading 'other' and the postcode 9999 is displayed in the postcode data. Some cases may occur in new postcodes and so cannot be added to the map. We use 2016 ABS data for Australian postcodes and population statistics. The maps on the website do not include probable cases from positive rapid antigent tests. Some postcode and local government information requires follow up and confirmation with a confirmed case and so is not added to the map until this process is completed by our Public Health team. Statewide case numbers are subject to change as cases are reviewed and reclassified.
We use the most up to date data available to update these maps each day. Information about mapsĭata on the map is presented by local government area and postcode.
