Black Lives Matter protester one of 18 new coronavirus cases in Vic

Victoria has confirmed 18 new COVID-19 cases, including a third Black Lives Matter protester. Health authorities confirmed the infected person attended the rally with a number of friends who went on to work two shifts at a Northland Shopping Centre H&M, which was promptly closed for deep cleaning. Health Minister Jenny Mikakos warned people to be vigilant as it was possible to contract the coronavirus even if wearing PPE. Two Melbourne childcare centres were also closed for deep cleaning after a worker at Learning Sanctuary in Pakenham contracted the virus, and a one-year-old child from Guardian Childcare in Pakenham tested positive. Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said the surge in infections would not impact the state’s reopening plan, but they would move ahead cautiously to ensure “everything we do minimises the chances of a second wave”.
