PROFESSOR PAUL KELLY: Good afternoon, Paul Kelly Acting Chief Medical Officer here to give the COVID-19 update here in Australia.
So first of all, the numbers. We continue to have new cases particularly in Victoria. So our current total is now 7,920. Which means there were 87 new cases confirmed yesterday.
Of those, there was 14 in New South Wales, all overseas acquired, all in quarantine, and then 73 new cases in Victoria, almost all of those associated with the hot spots in the north of Melbourne.
We have had no new deaths, 104, therefore, remains the total. And most people have recovered.So despite that increase over the last week or so in Melbourne, we have less than 400 cases currently active in Australia, 18 in hospital.
