The majority of COVID-related deaths in WA are occurring outside the hospital setting, in aged care homes and palliative care.

An analysis by WAtoday showed the state’s Omicron wave has recorded more than 300,000 cases and 96 deaths since the start of the year, however only 28 people who died had been admitted to intensive care.

6PR Breakfast host Gareth Parker said the data was interesting and showed COVID was having a similar impact to every other respiratory virus we've dealt with over the years, at least when it comes to mortality.
