The states and territories are now reporting their COVID-19 statistics weekly, instead of through the daily updates that were provided from the early days of the pandemic.
This story will be updated throughout the day, so if you do not see your state or territory, check back later.

Do I have the flu, COVID-19 or RSV? Let's unpack the difference in symptoms of these viruses
Heard of the triple threat this winter?
COVID-19, the flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are together driving a wave of respiratory illnesses.
But all three have very similar symptoms that overlap.
We help you zero in on which virus you might have.
Analysis: We're in another COVID wave. But it's not like the others
Each Omicron wave so far in Australia has had distinguishing features — the sharp rise and fall of BA.1, the widespread transmission among children and families with BA.2, a shift to more infections in older people with BA.5, then the confusing variant mix in the summer wave of 2022-23.
Now Australia is in its fifth Omicron wave, which has been brewing since February. But it has grown so slowly that many people may have not realised it until recently.
Why has this most recent wave been so drawn out? And what has its real impact been on our health and health systems?
Boris Johnson deliberately misled UK parliament over COVID-19 lockdown parties, report finds
Former British prime minister Boris Johnson deliberately misled the UK parliament over COVID-19 lockdown parties, a parliamentary committee said in a damning report on Thursday.
Mr Johnson said it was a lie to say he deliberately misled parliament, and called the report a charade.
"The committee now says that I deliberately misled the House, and at the moment I spoke I was consciously concealing from the House my knowledge of illicit events," he said in a statement.
"This is rubbish. It is a lie."
The findings of the report conclude a year-long investigation into allegations Mr Johnson knew gatherings held at Downing Street during the UK's COVID-19 lockdown were in breach of the rules.
