Victoria's COVID-19 response commander Jeroen Weimar says authorities "won't rest" until everyone around the Black Rock exposure sites has been tested and there is confidence the outbreak has been stamped out.
Tuesday's highlights included:
- Victoria recorded three new local cases, while NSW recorded four
- Residents of Orange, Broken Hill and Nyngan were told to get COVID-19 tests after a positive case travelled through western NSW.
- A woman who walked free from prison yesterday after fleeing hotel quarantine in Perth is back behind bars after allegedly providing the wrong address on her bail application.
- Qantas flights to the UK and US have been brought forward by a few months in response to growing optimism over COVID-19 vaccines around the world.
Look back at how events unfolded on Tuesday.
