STUFF Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins confirms no new community cases in the community or in MIQ and says no-one who catches Covid should be blamed. Victoria, Australia, will return to harsher Covid-19 restrictions and up to 600 Australian Open players, officials and support staff have been told to isolate and get tested after a hotel quarantine worker tested positive for coronavirus on Wednesday. Premier Daniel Andrews said in a late-night press conference on Wednesday that the state would return to mandatory masks indoors, would reintroduce caps on gatherings to 15 people in a household and would pause the 75 per cent return to work, scheduled to begin on Monday.
