Victoria reported 28 new cases of new crown pneumonia and 3 more patients died of new crown pneumonia at noon today. The number of confirmed and death cases is slightly higher than yesterday's number. But the overall trend to control the epidemic is still moving in a good direction, and the state is still moving forward on the road to easing the closure.
The Health Department yesterday announced 11 new confirmed cases of infection and two elderly women died of new coronary pneumonia, the lowest ever confirmed since June 16. Although the number of new confirmed cases has rebounded today, the average daily number of confirmed cases in the state has fallen to 32.8 in the past 14 days, including 34.4 in Melbourne Metropolitan area and 1.6 in the township area of Weizhou.
This means that the Melbourne Metropolitan area is likely to relax the epidemic closure by the end of October.
Under the government target, if melbourne's metropolitan area is to relax its quarantine by september 28, the average number of new confirmed cases in the past 14 days must be between 50 and 30. Today's figure is far below that target, prompting calls for state government to ease the closure this sunday.
Over the past 14 days, there have been 45 cases of infection of unknown origin in the metropolitan area of Melbourne, but no cases of infection of unknown origin in the township area.
While more people are using today's epidemic figures to urge state government to relax epidemic prevention restrictions as soon as possible and gradually resume production and life, Governor Andrews (Daneil Andrews) said that while it is likely to relax level 4 epidemic restrictions this weekend, it is on board and depends on epidemic control over the next few days.
Only two additional cases of non-local transmission in New State
At noon this afternoon, the state announced two confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia, two positive virus tests, both returned from overseas travel, which means cases of local infection.
During the 24-hour period ending Monday at 8 p.m., the state conducted 7616 virus tests, down from 7765 a day earlier.
"We want to see more than 20,000 tests a day, like last week ," said Jeremy McAnulty, deputy chief medical officer of the Department of Health. "
As the new state epidemic continues to improve, Queensland decided to open its borders to five counties in the new state township area next weekend.
The State of Queensland government decided that, from 1 a.m. on 1 October, residents of five counties, Byron (Byron), Barina (Ballina), Lismo (Lismore), Lishmen Valley (Richmond Valley) and Greene Innes (Glenn Innes), would be welcome to Queensland, and residents of Queensland would be free to travel to those five counties.
