Sydney: Australian authorities on Monday said the country Victoria will extend the Covid-19 crush outside Tuesday despite a slight decrease in new infections when the two largest cities in the country struggled to stop the spread of a very contagious Delta variant.

“Maybe a few days of sunlight and then it’s likely that we will return to locking again.
That’s what I tried to avoid,” said Andrews in explaining why the lock would not be raised as scheduled.
Victoria, the most populous state of the two countries including Melbourne, on Monday reported 13 cases obtained locally, down from 16 days earlier.
All new local cases are linked.

At least 20 of the new cases are transmitted while in the community, roughly in line with the last few days.
“Number 20 is a number that we really want encouragement …
getting closer we get that number to zero, the faster we can end the lock,” said the NSW State Premier Gladys Kniklian during the media conference broadcast on television.
NSW has two extended locking steps in Sydney since it was first applied on June 26, with difficult restrictions now scheduled to end on July 30.
Although cases are dipped on Monday, Kerjiklian said the country would not see the effects of hard top for “four or five more days”.
