Australia sees 3 new coronavirus deaths as government urges app installation
MELBOURNE - Australia's coronavirus-related death toll rose by three to a total of 68 on Saturday , health data showed, with the government stepping up its calls for people to sign up for a controversial movement-tracking mobile phone app.
