Australia has recorded no community transmission of COVID-19 in a 24-hour period for the first time in almost five months, as the situation in Victoria continues to stabilise.
Health Minister Greg Hunt on Sunday said in a tweet that the 24 hours to 8pm Saturday was the first since 9 June where no local infections were reported.
“Thank you to all of our amazing health and public health workers and above all else the Australian people,” Mr Hunt said.
