The second-most populous state Victoria, of which Melbourne is the capital, reported 14 new infections in the 24 hours this morning, down from 21 new cases the day prior and its lowest since June 19. Australia’s biggest state New South Wales, which has Sydney as the capital, reported two new cases, while the Queensland state also reported two, bringing the national total to 18, the lowest national tally since June 23.
