Latest COVID-19 infection data for the 9999 postcode

^ Wondering where the COVID infection numbers are for the week ending Thursday 20th October 2022? You're not alone. The Victorian Department of Health seemingly forgot to update the postcode data for that week. Yet another bang up job by Victoria's health authorities.

** Infection numbers for Friday 5th August 2022 are unavailable because the Victorian Department of Health didn't release complete data for that day due to a 'data reporting issue'. In fact, many days in August 2022 have been subject to 'data reporting issues' of some kind or another, so the reliability of the data is probably even more questionable than normal. Two and a half years into the COVID pandemic, you would think the government would have all its systems up to scratch, but sadly things are still not right in the state of Victoria.

* Prior to the 4th of February 2022, Victorian Department of Health postcode case numbers only included positive PCR test results from official testing locations and did not include positive rapid antigen test results, so these earlier numbers will be significantly lower than the actual number of infections.

This infection data is presented here purely for curiosity and should not be used for making any sort of meaningful conclusions.
Remember that this data does not represent the actual number of new infections, just the number of new infections that have been registered with health authorities. If you notice anyone using infection data like this as a means to infer the need for certain policies or behaviours, be wary of whatever they say.
