Once Australia's COVID-19 hotspot, Victoria goes 28 days without an infection
Australia`s second-largest state, Victoria, once the country`s COVID-19 hotspot, said on Friday it has gone 28 days without detecting any new infections, a benchmark widely cited as eliminating the virus from the community.
The spread of Covid-19 was only contained after a lockdown lasting more than 100 days, leaving some 5 million people in Melbourne, Australia`s second largest city, largely confined to their homes.
