As hospital beds are filling with Covid-19 patients fast, the Covid-19 advisory team is meeting the government to propose what an unofficial but well-placed source told the STA were two potential scenarios to tackle the situation; either a 10-day lockdown, or a series of restrictions, including an 11pm bar curfew, spectatorless sports events, and work from home for public employees.
Official data shows another 1,136 infections were confirmed on Monday, a public holiday, on a test positivity rate of 43%. Ten Covid-19 patients died. Hospitalisations rose to 634 with 158 ICU cases.
