SYDNEY - The Australian state of Victoria reported its lowest daily rise in new coronavirus infections in seven weeks on Monday , fuelling optimism that a deadly second wave there is subsiding.
Australia saw a surge in infections in the past month in Melbourne, Victoria's capital and the country's second-largest city, but cases have been trending downward in recent days helped by a total lockdown. Nearly half a million people could lose their jobs due to the full lockdown in Melbourne, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said on Sunday.
An abrupt resurgence of Covid-19 about two weeks ago in Auckland prompted New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to put the city's 1.7 million residents in a lockdown until Wednesday, forcing businesses to close and schools to shut.
