Martin Scott*Around Australia, more than 116,000 new COVID-19 infections were reported today, smashing yesterday’s record high of 78,166.

In Victoria, 51,356 infections were reported today, including the results of around 20,000 rapid antigen tests (RATs) taken earlier in the week, but registered yesterday. Even discounting these, daily case numbers in the state have increased more than four-fold in the space of one week. Read more of this story(Visited 36 times, 36 visits today)
