Victoria’s case numbers raise hopes that Australia may have contained the spread of COVID-19 after a stringent lockdown of Melbourne.

The country has now recorded nearly 25,500 COVID-19 infections, while the death toll rose to 584 after 12 people died in Victoria.

Strict lockdown measures have helped ease the daily rise of COVID-19 infections in Victoria after the state hit a one-day high of more than 700 cases about three weeks ago.
