Victoria records 73 new coronavirus cases and 41 deaths
Victoria has recorded 73 new coronavirus cases and 41 deaths overnight, marking the highest number of deaths reported by Australian health authorities in a single day.
However 22 of those deaths occurred before last Thursday, and were attributed by health authorities to delayed reporting from aged care facilities. "Today's deaths total includes 22 people who died in the weeks leading up to 27 August and were reported to DHHS by aged care facilities yesterday," Victoria's health department said on Twitter this morning.
Premier Daniel Andrews is expected to provide more details about the numbers at a press conference at 11:00am.The numbers come as the Federal Government and some business community leaders urge the State Government to give Victorians more clarity around what restrictions will look like beyond September 13, when stage 4 restrictions in Melbourne and stage 3 restrictions in regional Victoria are due to expire.
