It comes after the state recorded 45,098 cases yesterday from just under 117,000 tests.
As infection numbers continue to rise, with Australia expected to reach the one million mark in coming days, Deputy Chief Medical Officer Professor Michael Kidd is reminding all Australians everyone will likely become infected with one of the strains of coronavirus.
"Many of us will test positive for COVID-19 over the coming days and weeks if we haven't already done so," Professor Kidd said today.
Professor Kidd suggested people should be prepared ahead of inevitably becoming infected with the virus.
"Make sure you have paracetamol or ibuprofen at home in case you're diagnosed," he said.
"It's important to be prepared, because you won't be able to go to your supermarket or pharmacy if you're diagnosed."
