Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Queensland police have fined a Melbourne couple who tested positive to COVID-19 on the Sunshine Coast more than $4,000 each for allegedly lying on their border declaration passes.

The couple allegedly travelled to Queensland via Goondiwindi on June 5 after having been in Victoria.

The pair entered the state when the Victorian capital was in lockdown.

Police allege the pair deliberately provided false information to obtain a Queensland border declaration pass.

In other news

NSW has recorded one new locally acquired COVID-19 infection which authorities fear is the result of "very fleeting contact" with a previous case.

The growing case numbers have prompted NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian to make masks mandatory from 4:00pm on Friday on public transport in Greater Sydney.

Meanwhile in the lockdown state:

Victoria has recorded one new locally acquired COVID-19 case as restrictions ease further across the state.

The new case is a primary close contact of an existing case in the Kings Park apartment complex in Southbank, taking that cluster to nine.

The person was already isolating in the apartment complex, and there are no new exposure sites.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

This figure has more than trebled since the start of the month, rather concerning as to if and when this trend starts to reverse.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Australia is within months of clinical trials for a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine developed in Melbourne.

Victoria's Acting Premier James Merlino announced on Sunday his government had allocated $5 million from a $50 million mRNA research fund to help the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences manufacture doses of its mRNA vaccine candidate for trials.

According to this evening's news this will be tailored to deal with the latest variants including the Delta strain.
