SYDNEY, June 1 ― Australia's Victoria state authorities said today that it was still unclear whether a snap one-week lockdown to contain a fresh Covid-19 outbreak would end as planned on Thursday night, as the state grapples with a growing virus outbreak.
Nine new locally acquired Covid-19 cases were reported today taking the total infections in the clusters to 54. Today's data includes six cases announced yesterday which were recorded after the midnight cut-off deadline. “We are not yet in a position to make that call ... and as soon as we are, we will be sharing that with all Victorians,” said Foley.
Snap lockdowns, regional border controls and tough restrictions on movement have largely helped Australia escape the higher Covid-19 numbers in many other developed countries. So far the country has reported more than 30,100 cases and 910 deaths.
