  • Coronavirus. The 10 outbreaks that have the planet in suspense

In Australia, they believe the coronavirus spread when the 2,700 cruise passengers landed in Sydney in mid-March without passing any control or quarantine. Many had the symptoms of Covid-19 and still were able to travel across the country.

The government of Prime Minister Scott Morrison wasted no time in closing establishments, beaches and isolating anyone who came from abroad. Although citizens were never exposed to total confinement . Meanwhile, outside its borders, politicians pointed fingers at China calling for an independent investigation into the origin of the pandemic, something that strained relations between the two powers.

In May, with 6,900 infections and less than 100 deaths, the Government announced a three-phase plan to relax the measures. A month later, most Australian states went days without reporting any cases. The new normal was already accepted. But in this second phase of the pandemic, the world is learning to coexist with new outbreaks that hit unexpectedly. And Australia has not been spared.

In Victoria, the second most populous state, where the city of Melbourne is located, the coronavirus has returned, leaving 37 new infected in Thursday's count , the highest number in a single day recorded since mid-April. In total, the entire country has 7,519 infected and 104 deceased. This increase in cases comes shortly after Australia began to ease restrictions on social distancing. And in Victoria the batteries have been set and they intend to do more than 100,000 tests in the coming days.

The Ministry of Defense has also announced that they will deploy about 1,000 troops in Melbourne to help contain the only significant outbreak in the country right now. They don't want a second wave of infections. Defense Minister Linda Reynolds said today that 850 Defense Force staff will help monitor travelers ending their quarantine at the hotel, while another 200 soldiers will provide logistical and medical support at facilities where perform the coronavirus tests.

The authorities are concerned that the outbreaks where they have found more positives have been in supermarkets, places traveled by thousands of people daily. They have also found other outbreaks in various families and in a Melbourne clothing store. Victoria's head of state Daniel Andrews has explained that 1,000 public workers go "door to door urging residents of the most affected areas to get tested."

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Scott Morrison maintains that the restrictions will continue to be lifted these weeks. The borders will continue to be closed to international travelers, but regular domestic trips will open in the next few days and even sporting events will be held in stadiums that will be able to attend up to 10,000 people. The government's objective is to avoid a collapse of its economy, a prolonged depression because Australia is on the way to its first recession in 30 years.
