SYDNEY/MELBOURNE - Australia's virus hot spot state of Victoria recorded its lowest number of new infections in five weeks on Friday , as Prime Minister Scott Morrison's national Cabinet met to consider how and when to open state borders.
"Whilst tomorrow's numbers will be for tomorrow, we are all pleased to see a 'one' in front of these additional case numbers," state premier Daniel Andrews said in a televised news conference."To be at this point shows that the strategy is working." Many states have closed their borders to prevent the spread of infection, and Queensland's premier said this week that its border would not reopen to any states with cases of community transmission.
"The PM is working directly with relevant premiers on issues that are being raised with us," the source said.
