On Thursday, Victoria recorded seven new cases of the virus, and NSW and Tasmania recorded both two new cases in their states. In South Australia health authorities have managed to go for more than a week without detecting a single case of the virus in the community.Health workers at a drive through clinic at Chadstone Shopping Centre in Melbourne.

Pubs and restaurants will reopen across the NT on May 15, while golf, tennis, fishing or swimming with other people will be allowed from Friday. The initial stage of easing restrictions will also lift the ban on outdoor weddings and funerals. “We have been working on a suppression strategy, on a flatten the curve strategy, not really on a elimination strategy,” she told reporters in Canberra on Thursday.
Tasmania’s new cases are linked to a recent outbreak that affected hospital workers in the state’s north west.

The 60,000 number was the hopeful number based on what was being seen at the time due to social distancing and other mitigation. The White House originally projected 100,000 to 240,000.
