You’re right to be concerned but we can’t draw too many conclusions from just one or two data points. Instead, we need to look at averages over multiple days.

English-born Berry emigrated to gold-rush Victoria, where he helped to shape modern Australian democracy.
Coronavirus infections in prisons are a public health problem for everyone, not just prisoners and sfaff.
Victoria recorded 484 new cases on a day when COVID-19 should have been firmly on the decline if the latest lockdown was working. It’s time to contemplate even stricter measures for longer-term gain.
Too many people are going out with COVID-19 symptoms or while awaiting a test result, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has said, after the state hit a bleak new record of 484 new cases.

Public housing towers in Flemington and North Melbourne have been placed under ‘hard lockdown’, with 3,000 residents confined to home for at least five days, after 23 COVID-19 cases in 12 homes.
