Victoria, Australia's second largest state in terms of population, has issued instructions to quarantine nine public housing buildings, inhabited by nearly 3,000 people, in an effort to contain the hotspots of the Corona virus outbreak, which caused the high number of new cases of the virus yesterday, according to what It was mentioned by the state prime minister, Daniel Andrews.

Andrews said, at a press conference yesterday afternoon, that no one, with the exception of the returning population, will be allowed to enter mid-rise and high-rise buildings for at least five days, while the authorities of all those living in these buildings will be subjected to tests to detect corona virus.

The death toll from active infections with the Corona virus in the state rose to 509 yesterday, after the imposition of a four-week closure last week in the areas of the city of Melbourne, the state capital, as part of the government's efforts to contain the epidemic. The daily toll is the second largest increase in confirmed cases, and the largest jump in numbers, since March 28.
