New cases of COVID-19 in WA have once again climbed higher but remain well below forecasts, with hospitalisations and intensive care admissions staying relatively low.

WA Health reported 5605 new cases on Monday, up from 5112 on Easter Sunday.

There were 227 cases in hospital as at 8pm on Saturday, with six of these in ICU.

That compares to 220 hospitalisations and seven ICU admissions the day prior.

Late last week, both chief health officer Andy Robertson and Premier Mark McGowan declared the State had passed the peak of the Omicron wave.

That was reached on March 29, when 9754 cases were recorded, just shy of the 10,000 case peak that had been anticipated.

Sunrise reporter Tina Altieri has the details.
