Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he is expecting to see a jobs bounce-back in the nation as its worst-hit state prepares for a cautious reopening.
New virus cases in Victoria fell to 11 on Monday, the state’s health department said on Twitter. That’s the lowest in more than three months. The 14-day rolling average declined to 34.4 in metropolitan Melbourne, comfortably below the 50 level the local administration has set as the benchmark for a slight easing of restrictions on Sept. 28.
