After an initial slow rate of infection, the number of Covid-19 cases in Australia has now surpassed 1,100 with the south-eastern states of Victoria and New South Wales recording the highest number of cases.

The benchmark index plunged more than 8 per cent at the open, a day after the government pledged an extra A$66.4 billion to combat the impact of the coronavirus.
