The latest figures show the number of new cases being recorded is slowing.

* On February 25, Cherbourg Council reported there were seven active cases in the community taking the total number to 317 since the outbreak started.

NB. Data is reported by Queensland Health daily but can vary over time due to case reviews. When we took the first snapshots, Cherbourg LGA had not been added to the list by Qld Health as no cases had been recorded there. From December 31, data is current to 7:00pm the previous day. Numbers for all regions must also be considered underestimated. Not everyone who has tested positive using a Rapid Antigen Test has reported their result to Queensland Health. Not everyone who has had a mild dose of the disease has been tested. Also, the official statistics show 224,961 positive results (as at February 28) which have not been allocated to a Local Government Area.
