On September 30, 2020, there were 17 new reported confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Australia. Australia's daily new confirmed coronavirus cases peaked on July 30 with 746 new cases on that day. This was considered to be the second wave of coronavirus infections in Australia, with the first wave peaking at the end of March at 460 cases before dropping to less than 20 cases per day throughout May and most of June.

 A second wave

Australia’s second wave of coronavirus found its epicenter in Melbourne, after over a month of recording low numbers of national daily cases. Despite being primarily focused within a single state, clusters of coronavirus cases in Victoria soon pushed the daily number of recorded cases over that of the first wave, with well over double the number of deaths. As a result, the Victorian Government once again increased lockdown measures to limit movement and social interaction. At the same time the other states and territories closed or restricted movement across borders, with some of the strictest border closures taking place in Western Australian.

 Is Australia entering into a recession?

After narrowly avoiding a recession during the global financial crisis, by September 2020 Australia had recorded two consecutive quarters of economic decline, hailing the country’s first recession since 1991. This did not necessarily come as a surprise for many Australians who had already witnessed a rising unemployment rate throughout the second quarter of 2020 alongside ongoing restrictions on retail and hospitality trading. However, thanks to welfare initiatives like JobKeeper and a government stimulus payment supplementing many household incomes, the economic situation could have been much worse at this point.

Australia recorded 20553 Coronavirus Deaths since the epidemic began, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In addition, Australia reported 11299954 Coronavirus Cases. This dataset includes a chart with historical data for Australia Coronavirus Deaths.

As of November 25, 2022 the number of COVID-19 cases in the Australian state of Victoria was at 40,482 people per 100,000 of the population. Since mid-2021, uncontained outbreaks in NSW and Victoria caused the government to move away from its former 'Covid zero' approach.

The economic impact of lockdown measures

In March of 2020, one survey showed that over 70 percent of Australians expected the economic outlook in Australia to get worse in the next three months. For most industries this prediction was correct, with the worst hit industries being hospitality, tourism, and gyms and fitness. However, some businesses flourished under the shift in pandemic consumer behavior with food delivery services, homewares and online gambling showing significant increases in consumption.

COVID-19 cases by notification date and age range. Data is available from 29th of June 2021.

The data is for confirmed COVID-19 cases only based on location of usual residence, not necessarily where the virus was contracted.

The underlying dataset was assessed to measure the risk of identifying an individual and the level of sensitivity of the information gained if it was known that an individual was in the dataset. Age ranges have been combined to minimise these risks.

Context

This dataset is derived from the list of cases that is published at:

https://discover.data.vic.gov.au/dataset/all-victorian-sars-cov-2-cases-by-local-government-area-postcode-and-acquired-source

It is joined with the following two sources to get postcode and population data.

As at January 31, 2022 there had been a total of 2,580,386 COVID-19 cases confirmed in Australia. After maintaining a 'COVID zero' infection control policy from the beginning of the outbreak and much of 2021, subsequent outbreaks in the second half of 2021 saw the Australian government shift its policy away from trying to eradicate domestic cases of COVID-19 to a staged reopening of state and international boarders with infection control measures.

Project Tycho datasets contain case counts for reported disease conditions for countries around the world. The Project Tycho data curation team extracts these case counts from various reputable sources, typically from national or international health authorities, such as the US Centers for Disease Control or the World Health Organization. These original data sources include both open- and restricted-access sources. For restricted-access sources, the Project Tycho team has obtained permission for redistribution from data contributors. All datasets contain case count data that are identical to counts published in the original source and no counts have been modified in any way by the Project Tycho team, except for aggregation of individual case count data into daily counts when that was the best data available for a disease and location. The Project Tycho team has pre-processed datasets by adding new variables, such as standard disease and location identifiers, that improve data interpretability. We also formatted the data into a standard data format. All geographic locations at the country and admin1 level have been represented at the same geographic level as in the data source, provided an ISO code or codes could be identified, unless the data source specifies that the location is listed at an inaccurate geographical level. For more information about decisions made by the curation team, recommended data processing steps, and the data sources used, please see the README that is included in the dataset download ZIP file.

This study aimed to examine the attitudes and beliefs of Australian adults towards the COVID-19 pandemic, and willingness and capacity to engage with these mitigation measures. In addition, we aimed to explore the psychosocial and demographic factors that are associated with adoption of recommended hygiene-related and avoidance-related behaviors. A national cross-sectional online survey of 1420 Australian adults (18 years and older) was undertaken between the 18 and 24 March 2020.

The Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak, dubbed COVID-19, is first and foremost a human tragedy, affecting millions of people globally. The contagious Coronavirus, which broke out at the close of 2019, has led to a medical emergency across the world, with the World Health Organization officially declaring the novel Coronavirus a pandemic on March 11, 2020.

Australia’s first coronavirus case was discovered on ****************. The infected person was a man from the coronavirus epicenter, Wuhan, who had flown into Melbourne on the **** of January. Although some of the first infections in Australia can be attributed to travelers from China, by ********, infections attributed to people who had visited the United States and Italy had overtaken China.

Travel restrictions

With the rate of infection in China climbing steadily in early *************, the Australian government began to implement measures to slow the spread of the coronavirus. These measures involved social distancing and broad travel restrictions, including the closing of boarders to all foreign nationals arriving from China on **********. Overall, the number of travelers moving through airports across Australia had already begun to drop noticeably and Chinese students were one of the largest groups to be affected. By March, well after the 2020 school year had begun, over ** percent of Chinese university students with visas to study in Australia had not entered the country. This also added to economic concerns, with Chinese students representing just over ** billion Australian dollars in education export income in 2019.

Cruise ships

During the COVID-19 pandemic a number of cruise ships were hit by the virus, which spread amongst passengers and staff in the closed environments. The Diamond Princess, which was quarantined in Yokohama, Japan, had around *** Australians on board, of which at least a quarter contracted the coronavirus. The Ruby Princess was another cruise ship attributed to the spread of COVID-19 within Australia. On **************, the ship docked in Sydney harbor and ***** passengers disembarked. By ******** it was confirmed that *** passengers had contracted COVID-19 on the Ruby Princess.

Highlights:No differences in coping or well-being in Australian community athletes based on the level of support received during COVID-19 restrictions.Community level athletes had better coping when a training program was provided.No difference between individual or team community athletes for well-being or coping scores. Australian community level athletes faced unprecedented changes to their training and competition options as the global COVID-19 pandemic took a stronghold. This disruption was predicted to have a negative impact on emotional well-being as communities braced through periods of social isolation and physical distancing requirements. This study provides an Australian perspective on the emotional well-being of community level athletes and the extent to which they coped during the COVID-19 pandemic. Emotional well-being and coping were measured using the Brief Emotional Experience Scale and the 28-item Brief Cope Scale. Both instruments were administered along with other questions pertaining to participant demographics and training status via an online survey between April and June 2020. The survey was disseminated to community athletes through word-of-mouth and social media platforms. No significant differences in emotional well-being were observed between athlete groups as a result of COVID-19 and its associated restrictions. Coping scores also appeared to be preserved in Australian community athletes, which contrasts the impact expected as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While tentative, the observed preservation in coping may have buffered potential declines in emotional well-being, which has been documented in professional and semi-professional athletes and the general population. These unexpected findings and tentative suppositions warrant further investigation and highlight the importance of conducting a country- or region-specific approach to examining the impact of COVID-19 on community athletes, as responses to COVID-19 are undoubtedly not consistent throughout the world.
