After recording its maximum 723 new cases on Thursday, Victoria state becomes the coronavirus hot spot of Australia. Seeing the rising concern, the authorities have made it compulsory for the residents to wear masks in public.
Among the 723 new cases, most of them are from age care homes. Premier of Victoria, Daniel Andrews, stated in a new press release that masks or similar face coverings are going to be obligatory all over the state commencing from late Sunday.
The second measure has been taken by the state in order to prevent the spread of coronavirus and to slow down the number of cases in the state and for this people around the city of Geelong are not going to be permitted to have visitors in their homes from late Thursday.
Andrews stated that they have a small number of coronavirus in regional Victoria and “we want to jealously guard that,”. Melbourne along with Mitchell Shire is already under a six-week lockdown, and Andrews has suggested that if the situation is not controlled then it may possibly be extended.
As of now, Melbourne is gradually distressing by irregularity in Australia, which has all but rejected the community spread in another place. Andrews in a press release appreciated their decision of a six-week lockdown and said that if they have reopened across metropolitan Melbourne as well as Mitchell Shire, then there won’t be 700 cases a day but instead “you can add a zero to that”. If this would have been the scenario then “our hospitals would have been overrun” and “we were conducting many funerals,”
Earlier, their highest number of positive coronavirus cases was on Monday when it recorded 532 cases and now Thursday has recorded the maximum mostly in Melbourne i.e., 723 new cases. In addition to that, many military medics and interstate nurses have been also brought into Melbourne nursing homes for increasing the healthcare standards amid pandemic crises.
