SYDNEY (AUSTRALIA) – Australia will adhere to plans to further relax coronavirus restrictions, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Friday, despite a spike in infections in the second most populous state of Victoria.
“There will be outbreaks and what matters is that we continue to build our capability to deal with those outbreaks,” Morrison told the media in Canberra.
Australia deployed ambulances and mobile test centres in a testing blitz across the southeastern state following a resurgence in coronavirus cases. On Friday, the state reported its tenth straight day of new cases in double digits.
