Victoria records deadliest day since beginning of pandemic
Victoria has recorded its deadliest day since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, with 13 new deaths in the past 24 hours. Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said the fatalities included three men and three women in their 70s, three men and two women in their 80s and two men in their 90s. The state’s total virus death toll now stands at 105. Premier Andrews confirmed another 723 new cases of the virus in the past 24 hours, also making it the highest daily increase of cases. Of 5,385 total active cases in the state, Mr Andrews said 312 people were being treated in hospital and 34 required treatment in the intensive care unit. The Premier said 913 active cases were from the state’s aged care sector. He said ADF personnel were doorknocking the homes of people who returned a positive test, to ensure they were isolating and understood what was required of them. Of 269 homes visited yesterday, he said a number of people were not home and those people had been referred to the police for investigation. “If you’re a positive case then you need to be at home and you need to be isolating. To have found even one person to have disregarded their diagnosis and decided to go to work, is very disappointing,” he said. Image: News Corp Australia
