MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - AUGUST 12: Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews arrives at the daily briefing on August 12, 2020 in Melbourne, Australia. Victoria has recorded 410 new coronavirus cases overnight, along with 21 COVID-19 deaths, the highest daily death toll since the pandemic began in Australia. Metropolitan Melbourne is under stage 4 lockdown restrictions, with people only allowed to leave home to give or receive care, shopping for food and essential items, daily exercise and work while an overnight curfew from 8pm to 5am is also in place. The majority of retail businesses are also closed. Other Victorian regions are in stage 3 lockdown. The restrictions, which came into effect from 2 August, have been introduced by the Victorian government as health authorities work to reduce community COVID-19 transmissions across the state.

The state is now on the verge of yet another grim landmark, almost 300 deaths since the pandemic started.

Andrews reported a significant spike in ‘mystery’ cases has occurred.

“There are 3,119 cases with an unknown source – mystery cases,” he said.

“That’s 51 that have been added – 51 that have been confirmed as an unknown, a mystery case, since yesterday’s report.”

Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said the state is expected to see a “levelling off” of hospitalisations in the next couple of weeks and the same for deaths.

“Because we’ve seen a stabilisation in the number of cases, it’s essentially levelled off,” he said.

“I think we will see a levelling off of hospitalisations for community cases in the next couple of weeks and the same for deaths.”
