The Victorian State 14 day moving average is now 74.29 with metro at 65.3 and regional already below the next milestone target at 4.7.

The UK had 3,539 new cases yesterday, the highest since May 26th. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore those figures.
