As the head of the Ministry of Health Hunt pointed out, there were no new infections for the first time since June 9. “Thank you to all of our wonderful healthcare workers and most of all to the Australian people.”, – he said.
Since the start of the pandemic, Australia has recorded 27 595 cases of the disease.
