About two million Australians have begun their first full day of a strict coronavirus lockdown following the discovery of one case in the community in Perth, capital of Western Australia state, but no new cases have since been found, Reuters reported.
Authorities ordered a five-day lockdown of Perth after a security guard at a hotel used to quarantine people returning from overseas was found to have contracted the virus.
The state government said 66 people have been deemed close contacts of the unidentified guard and none of those already tested were infected.
