Victoria is Australia's second most populous state and COVID-19 cases are accelerating
33 new cases were found in the past 24 hours, largest number in 2 months.
- 7 hotel quarantine
- 9 linked to known outbreaks
- 6 routine testing
- 11 under investigation
The Premier of the state is saying community transmission is 1 down on yesterday. Community transmission is the concern, but this guy really should not be congratulating anyone on being down 1 on the day. To his credit he has announced a testing blitz in the most effected suburbs over the next 10 days.
A continued out break in one state risks state borders being shut for longer, and all the economic damage that does.
