1:42Now PlayingPrime Minister Scott Morrison says Australia secured an additional 10 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine, making the total number of vaccine doses the country has now at 150 million. Morrison said Australia is "on track” to begin its vaccination program in late February during an update on the schedule in Canberra Thursday.
After 28 days without a coronavirus case in the community, Melbourne reported its first from a worker at a quarantine hotel housing Australian Open tennis players, prompting a tightening of rules in the city.
Masks are now mandatory in all public indoor spaces and the number of visitors allowed in homes halved to 15. The increase in office capacity for returning public and private sector workers that was slated for Monday has been paused as the city moves swiftly to track contacts of the case.
Australian Open players, officials and support staff staying at the Grand Hyatt during the entire period were considered casual contacts of the case and must immediately isolate and get tested. There will be no matches at Melbourne Park on Thursday. The tournament is due to start on Feb. 8 with reduced attendance limits of up to 30,000 spectators.
