Australia's Victoria state looks set to come out of a hard COVID-19 lockdown as planned on Tuesday after reporting fewer new cases, while neighbouring New South Wales rushed to trace thousands after detecting fresh virus clusters.
A busy shopping mall in Sydney's southwest has been added to virus exposure sites and anyone who visited at any time over a 10-day period has been classified as a close contact who should test and self isolate for two weeks.
The lockdown is due to end on Friday but strict stay-home rules could be extended further as daily new cases have stubbornly remained above a hundred, with many still active in the community while infectious. South Australia, which also registered infections from the Sydney outbreak, is on track to exit its week-long lockdown on Wednesday.With many businesses shut, the national government estimates the lockdowns could cost the economy about A$300 million daily.
