New South Wales has passed the peak of it’s latest Covid-19 wave just days before Christmas, as Sydney scientists develop an innovative nasal vaccine for the virus.

“This week, as predicted, key indicators show the number of cases in NSW are stable or declining which suggests we have passed the peak of the Covid-19 wave,” the chief health officer, Dr Kerry Chant, said in a video statement.
