SYDNEY (Reuters) – Australia’s coronavirus hot spot of Victoria on Wednesday reported six deaths from the virus in the last 24 hours and 90 new cases of infections.
The country’s second most populous state a day earlier recorded five deaths and 70 cases.
The rise in new infections has eased in recent days in Victoria as the state capital Melbourne begins its fourth week of a six-week lockdown, with authorities scheduled to detail on Sunday the timetable for easing curbs.
