‘Heavens above!’: Victorian Premier lashed over spike in COVID-19 cases
Victoria is under the spotlight after a spike in coronavirus cases has fueled fears of a second wave.
The state has reimposed coronavirus restrictions after 100 new cases were confirmed in the past five days.

“I mean, heavens above!
“Now, the rest of the country are looking at the corona capital of Australia, Melbourne, with disdain.”
