Local transmissions in Victoria doubled overnight, representing the most significant increase of this sort to date. Harsher restrictions on movement are being considered.

At this time of year, corporate bookmakers' websites are typically flush with an extraordinary amount of racing and sport to bet on.

Community transmission cases are those that did not originate from a person who was overseas. These cases worry health authorities as they indicate localised spread of the virus. More than 30 cases are still under investigation, meaning it is unknown whether they are cases of community transmission.

I must ask the question as to why the VIC state government would not lock things down BEFORE the weekend? I’m no expert but something tells me that would be the way to go about it.

I would like to know how many of these can be traced DIRECTLY to the Aspen jet-setters

Rip mate Very sad & I cannot fathom why these people where still going on cruises?! Coronavirus was an issue in January & yet all these cruises continued on & then let their passengers off into the community when incredibly ill. So many greedy companies who don’t value human life 😓💔 For pity’s sake. This great nation will be undone by the incompetent management of cruise ships
