However, the authorities in Australia have refrained from imposing additional restrictions, saying that the rate of those who are transferred to hospitals due to the epidemic is still low, according to what was reported by “Reuters”.
Authorities said the death was a man in his 80s with medical problems.
She did not disclose more information about this death, except that he was injured while in a nursing home, and died in a Sydney hospital.
“This is the first known death in the state from the worrisome omicron,” New South Wales epidemiologist Kristen Selvi said in a video released by the Australian government.
The mutated “Omicron” began to spread within Australia as soon as the authorities eased restrictions on the majority of local restrictions, and allowed the return of Australians from abroad without quarantine.
All this led to an increase in the number of people infected with the epidemic.
Three states in Australia reported 9,107 injuries, Monday, pushing the country towards the peak of new infections.
The authorities in the other five provinces have not reported daily infections yet.
