Australia has recorded 502 new cases of COVID-19 in 24 hours, the single largest daily number of cases since the pandemic began.
The previous highest number reported in a single day was 469 cases, which was recorded in late March and mostly fuelled by returning international travellers.
The outbreak of the virus in Victoria reached a new peak today, with 484 cases recorded in 24 hours in the state.
Deputy Chief Medical Officer Michael Kidd said 2,414 people had tested positive for COVID-19 in Australia over the past week.
"This is the single-largest daily number of diagnoses of COVID-19 in Australia since the pandemic began," he said.
There are currently about 3,500 active cases of COVID-19 in Australia.
More to come.
