Live updates: Victoria has recorded 278 new cases of coronavirus, and an additional eight deaths overnight.

New Zealand's Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters says Kiwis "from the Prime Minister down" are angry about the re-emergence of COVID-19 in the community.

The Deputy PM said New Zealand had been planning to start rolling back wage subsidies in September, signalling how the government wasn’t expecting a re-emergence of cases. "People only have to look across the border into Victoria to see what happens when people don't adhere to the physical distancing restrictions and just don't follow what they're supposed to be doing," Professor Kidd told ABC News Breakfast this morning.

Professor Kidd said the fresh cases in New Zealand after 100 days without community transmission were a reminder that international borders can never be truly closed. Professor Catherine Bennett, Chair of Epidemiology at Deakin University in Melbourne, told Nine's Today Program this morning that the peak of the second wave was most likely behind us now.

"So hopefully this pipeline, if you like, of people being exposed then becoming ill and possibly also triggering workplace outbreaks is now shifting so that we are starting to close down those existing outbreaks," she said.
