The ACT has achieved an Australia-first coronavirus vaccine milestone, with more than 90 per cent of its residents now having received at least one dose of the vaccine.Meanwhile, the Federal Government said Australia has hit 54.2 per cent of over-16s having both doses, with 77.8 per cent having one dose.A total of 27.7 million vaccines have been put into arms.Singapore authorities are concerned about COVID-19 transmission among migrant workers after the city state reported a record 2268 new cases.From the new cases reported on Wednesday, 2258 are locally transmitted including 448 in migrant worker dormitories, the Ministry of Health reported.There were also eight further deaths.
Professor Spurrier has given further details about the new South Australian case.She said the male truck driver is currently in Victoria and will be treated by authorities there.”There is quite a risk for our truck drivers … with them going to and fro across borders this is not unexpected.”Professor Spurrier said the truck driver’s wife who works at an aged care centre has been fully vaccinated and tested negative.His child and grandparents who live in the same household also tested negative in Adelaide.”It does give a very good example of why we need to have full vaccination,” Professor Spurrier said.
