Australia to shut state border as Melbourne infections surge

Women hold signs outside housing commission apartments under lockdown in Melbourne, Australia, on Monday, July 6, 2020. The leader of Australia’s most populous state says her government’s decision to close its border with hard-hit Victoria state marks a new phase in the country’s coronavirus pandemic.

New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian was a critic of states that closed their borders to her state when Sydney had Australia’s largest number of coronavirus cases. But she said she changed her stance because the situation in Melbourne was unprecedented and indicated the pandemic was in a new phase.The overwhelming majority of new infections detected in Melbourne in recent weeks were from community transmission.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said of the 127 new cases recorded overnight, 53 were among 3,000 people who have been confined by police to their apartments in nine public housing blocks since Saturday. The infections announced Monday surpassed the first surge of infections in Melbourne that peaked on March 28 at 111 cases recorded in a day.

Kidd said that only 16% of new cases detected in Australia in the past week had been infected overseas. Two weeks ago, 50% of new cases were people infected overseas and detected in hotel quarantine, he said.

NEW not DEATHS! OMG now I have to try and get the truth to Australians also! New Cases and Deaths are going down!

Meanwhile in Florida....

Take care folks ...my prayers are with you.

Are these people in these inner city apartments for real? Last count you’ve got 50 cases and rising. Instead of being so precious and hard done by try complying with authorities and charities that are trying to help. Get tested and lockdown time reduces.

They close over 127 cases. USA reopens more and more with 50k+ cases everyday

So proud of our Premier DanielAndrewsMP 🙌 As someone in lockdown again, I’m so greatful they are onto this.
