Victoria has reported two deaths from Covid-19 and 11 cases in the past 24 hours. And the previous day, the state announced five deaths and 14 new cases, the lowest rise in daily injuries in three months. Australia has so far recorded just over 26,900 new coronavirus cases and 851 deaths, with Victoria accounting for the bulk of both.

The National Health Commission said in a statement that all new cases are imported infections, including travelers from abroad. It also reported 25 new infections without symptoms, up from 21 the day before, although China does not classify these asymptomatic patients as confirmed cases of Covid-19.

The total number of confirmed Covid-19 infections in mainland China is now 85,291, while the number of deaths has remained unchanged at 4,634.
