A second wave of infections in Australia’s coronavirus hot spot, the state of Victoria, has eased further as authorities look to loosen lockdown restrictions that have shut large swathes of the state’s economy.
Australia’s second-most populous state reported 90 new coronavirus cases, its third straight day of double-digit new cases, indicating the strict lockdown measures are reducing the infection rate.
According to Reuters, last month daily new infections peaked at more than 700.
