Prime Minister press briefing

  • says Australia is slowing the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19

Hmmm. A lot of the cases in Australia have been from travellers and returning travellers. And yes, those cases are slowing, simple with the passage of time as arrivals into the country dry up (not tonally but mainly, and those that do arrive go into a 14 day isolation).

Community transmission is still rising though.
