Australia has reported its lowest one-day rise in new Covid-19 cases in nearly three months, as states said restrictions imposed to slow the spread of the virus will be further relaxed.
Australia said 35 cases of Covid-19 have been detected in the past 24 hours, the lowest one-day rise since 24 June. Victoria state - Australia's Covid-19 epicentre – accounted for the bulk of the new cases, with 28 people diagnosed with the virus in the past 24 hours. "It is a fantastic outcome and a tribute to the hard work, sacrifice and contribution every single Victorian is making and I want to say thank you," Victoria state Premier Daniel Andrews told reporters in Melbourne.
