Premier Daniel Andrews has announced social distancing restrictions in Victoria will be reinstated after 25 new cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in the state reigniting fears of a 'second wave'.
Premier Daniel Andrews has announced the reimposition of restrictions in Victoria after the state confirmed a two-month high of 25 new cases of COVID-19. The data added to growing fears the state was experiencing a second wave of the virus two weeks on from Black Lives Matter demonstrations in Melbourne.
"Whilst today numbers and trends are challenging and problematic, we have avoided so many of those horror scenes around the world. Mr Andrews expressed his "disappointment" and "frustration" half of all new cases came from "family-to-family transmission". "We've had cases of people gathering in large numbers... even though they've been told to isolate in their own homes," he said.

Hardline COVID-19 restrictions 'don't make medical sense' | Sky News AustraliaThe implementation of hardline COVID-19 restrictions stopping people from fishing or going outside “don’t make biological sense” when it comes to the “getting or the giving” of the virus, according to ANU Professor Peter Collignon.\n\n“This virus mainly transmits inside when you’ve got poor ventilation and people close together,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.\n\nRestrictions which respond to these sorts scenarios we should “keep on,” but a number of restrictions have “not been needed”. \n\n“Some governments, and I think Victoria was particularly going for elimination, which I think unfortunately is unlikely,” he said. \n\nLow level community transmission of the coronavirus “is the best we are going to get”. \n\nHowever, he pointed out the emergence of a new case of coronavirus linked to the Black Lives Matter protests in Melbourne, which “reinforces why we need to be really careful and do all the things we know that decrease the chance of COVID-19 via droplets spreading from person to person”.\n\nImage: AP

China 'striking out' at India to cover COVID-19 'anxiety' | Sky News AustraliaRising border tensions between India and China are linked with the threat of the coronavirus pandemic on China’s home front, according to ASPI Director Michael Shoebridge. \n\nIndia claimed on Tuesday that 20 soldiers were killed by Chinese forces in border clashes which happened after several weeks of stand offs in the western Himalayas. \n\nMr Shoebridge told Sky News the Chinese government feared their authority would be discredited by their handling of the pandemic as Beijing faced a potential second wave of the virus. \n\n“They also are aware that the pandemic has deeply damaged their credibility internationally,” he said. \n\n“When the Chinese communist party feels weakened and threatened it traditionally strikes out, it gets confrontational.\n\n“I think it’s trying to display strength and I think some commentators have played into that by saying Beijing is taking advantage of the pandemic as an opportunity.\n\n“Well I think Beijing sees it more as a real weakness and a source of anxiety and this aggression is to cover that.” \n\nImage: AP

A 'common drug' has provided an 'exciting development' on COVID-19 | Sky News AustraliaA 'common drug' has provided an exciting development which 'seems like it will reduce the death toll significantly for those on a ventilator' suffering from the deadly coronavirus says the Australian Medical Association (AMA) President of Western Australia Dr Andrew Miller. \n\nOn Thursday, Health Minister Greg Hunt revealed the medical expert panel approved the use of dexamethasone in Australia as a COVID-19 treatment. \n\nIn clinical trials, the widely available steroid showed to decrease the risk of death in coronavirus patients, particularly for those requiring ventilators. \n\nResearchers in the United Kingdom announced their success with the drug on Wednesday. \n\nDiscussing the drug, Dr Miller told Sky News 'the Brits have done a really good trial and they've tested it on severely ill people in the ICU for their lung inflammation'. \n\n'It seems like it will reduce the death toll significantly for those on a ventilator ... down from 50 per cent by possibly about a third.\n\n'That's an exciting development because we've had lots of promises but nothing that's actually gone through a trial to good effect.' \n\nImage: AP
