41 people need a ventilator to breathe.

81 per cent of people have not been vaccinated at all, 15 per cent have been partially vaccinated, and just three per cent fully vaccinated.

The Premier said that three per cent figure was inflated due to the fact it was made up largely of those from aged care.
