Victoria has recorded its biggest single-day spike in coronavirus cases in almost three months as it battles to contain outbreaks across Melbourne. Premier Daniel Andrews announced the state would be enforcing mandatory testing for all quarantined travellers after 49 new cases were confirmed overnight. The decision follows a sharp spike in cases in Victoria, which is the only state to have reported 12 consecutive days with cases in the double digits. The last day Victoria recorded 49 cases overnight was on April 3, which marked the end of a horror week at the height of the pandemic with 511 confirmed cases. Dr van Diemen confirmed about one third of returned travellers have refused a coronavirus test.
