Residents of Melbourne in Australia are getting ready to return to lockdown for six weeks due to a new spike in coronavirus infections. Police have also been deployed along the Victoria state border to enforce quarantine measures. The state has seen a spike in Covid-19 cases in recent days. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison promised his government would provide financial aid to local businesses, which are worried they won't survive another lockdown.

Critics said it was only a matter of time before he caught the disease, as he has failed to socially distance, and has largely refused to wear a mask in public.

President Aleksandar Vucic imposed a curfew and banned gatherings of more than five people after a surge in coronavirus deaths.
