New daily COVID-19 cases in Australia's Victoria and New South Wales states, the epicenters of the country's worst virus outbreak, fell as authorities look to start easing tough restrictions amid a rise in vaccination rates
A total of 1,420 new locally acquired cases were reported in Victoria, most of them in the state capital Melbourne, down from a record 1,763 on Tuesday. Eleven new deaths were registered, the state's highest daily number in the current outbreak.
Victorian authorities plan to relax some tough restrictions once 70% of the adult population is fully vaccinated, expected in late October. More curbs will be eased at 80%. Newly elected state Premier Dominic Perrottet said he would "raise a number of issues" about the state's reopening plans at a meeting with health officials later on Wednesday.
