For the first time since the epidemic began, the border between Australia's two most populous states -- Victoria and New South Wales -- will be closed overnight Tuesday, officials from both states said. Home to more than 6.6 million people, Victoria announced a record 127 new cases Monday as the virus spread through Melbourne -- including a cluster in several densely populated apartment blocks.
Plans to reopen Victoria's border with South Australia have already been put on ice. After weeks of easing virus restrictions, Melbourne has seen a huge spike in community transmission, leading health officials to effectively shut off some neighbourhoods to the rest of the city until the end of July.
There are concerns the virus could spread rapidly, with one health official likening the crowded conditions inside to"vertical cruise ships" -- a reference to high transmission rates seen on ocean liners. "This is a massive task and the message to everybody in the towers... those staff -- thousands of them -- are doing the very, very best they can and they will continue to do everything they can to support those who are impacted by this lockdown," he said.
