SYDNEY: Australia's Victoria state on Wednesday reported a jump in new COVID-19 infections as Melbourne, the state capital, braced for a third straight day of protests against tough restrictions.

Sydney in New South Wales state and Melbourne, Australia's largest cities, as well as the capital Canberra have been in lockdown for weeks to contain a Delta variant outbreak. "You're not going to be welcomed with open arms, I can assure you of that ... These protests can't be allowed to occur again," Patton said.

Authorities are aiming for a staggered reopening in Sydney and Melbourne, easing some curbs when the adult population reaches 70 per cent fully vaccinated, expected next month. More restrictions will be relaxed when the figure hits 80 per cent.
