New coronavirus infections have soared again in Australia to a record of more than 32,000, just days after surpassing 10,000 for the first time.
Ranking countries from 1-100, the Johns Hopkins Preparedness and Emergency Response Learning Center found the “world is unprepared” for the next pandemic, with countries averaging a score of 39.9.SYDNEY -- New coronavirus infections soared again in Australia on Friday to a record of more than 32,000, just days after surpassing 10,000 for the first time.
More than 15,000 of the new cases were reported in Sydney. Another 5,000 cases came from elsewhere in New South Wales state, while almost 6,000 were confirmed in Victoria state, home to the second largest city of Melbourne. Authorities were expecting far smaller crowds than in pre-pandemic years, when as many as 1 million revelers would crowd inner Sydney.
“Despite the pandemic, despite the floods, the fires, continuing drought in some areas, the cyclones, the lockdowns, even mice plagues, Australia is stronger today than we were a year ago. And we’re safer,” Morrison said in a New Year's Eve message.
