This tracks the increase in cases across the 70 top LGAs. Have a look at number 1, Lithgow people, I’ve added a blue arrow. To explain the graphic, the percentages show you the percentage change in cases in the past 14 days. Lithgow leading the State. The dots on the right convert this into a chance of catching Covid, what it was 14 days ago (grey) and what it is today (coloured). Anything around 1 in 50 is like hanging out closely with an infected friend. 1 in 200 like being in a family of 4, 1 in 2500 being in contact with a friend of an infected friend.
