Will Victoria's outbreak derail Australia's Covid-19 success?

Victoria has reimposed coronavirus restrictions and extended its State of Emergency after its highest number of new cases in months.

On Todays episode we take a look at what led to this spike, and whether this is the right course of action for the state.

Catherine Bennett, Professor of Epidemiology at Deakin University helps us understand this tipping point.

In todays news Headlines:

  • Victoria reimposes coronavirus restrictions after the highest number of new cases in months
  • World reaches a grim Covid-19 milestone
  • No second wave of Covid-19 from US Black Lives Matter protests
  • K-Pop fans and TikTokers claim to have virtually hijacked Trump rally

In todays Briefing we ask:

Has Victoria’s Premier done the right thing by revising restrictions? How is this transmission occurring? Is the focus on how people are interacting in households rather than big events like protests? Will the protests also contribute to these unrelated sporadic cases? Is it down to the individual or is it something the state can intervene in? Will we be able to get on top of this second wave in Victoria or is this something bigger?
