Victoria is ramping up testing for Covid-19 as the state struggles with a fresh outbreak of the virus. Victoria’s Deputy Chief Health Officer Annaliese van Diemen says she is very concerned as the state reported its 11th day of new cases in the double digits. Liberal MP Trent Zimmerman was more blunt, calling the actions of these returned travellers “reckless”. On Friday, South Australian Health Minister Stephen Wade warned a number of COVID-19 cases should be expected among the returning passengers, but all those arriving would be tested when they landed and while in isolation. Six new cases were reported in NSW with five of them returned travellers in hotel quarantine.
