victoria Covid in Australia: Victoria sees first day without a case since June Victoria in Australia has recorded no new Covid-19 cases for the first time since Melbourne - the state capital - went into lockdown 111 days ago. The state was the epicentre of Australia's second wave, accounting for over 90% of the country's 905 deaths. It saw cases surge to over 700 per day in July, but severe stay-at-home rules and a curfew have curbed the numbers. State officials are expected to soon ease restrictions in Melbourne, the country's second-largest city. An announcement had been expected on Sunday, but a small outbreak in the city's north warranted a delay, Premier Daniel Andrews said. But on Monday the state health department reported no new cases from the outbreak, and no new deaths across the state. The state has not seen a day of no cases since 9 June.

spain Covid: Spain imposes national nighttime curfew to curb infections Spain has declared a national state of emergency and imposed a night-time curfew in an effort to help control a new spike in Covid-19 infections. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said the curfew, between the hours of 23:00 and 06:00, would come into force on Sunday. Under the emergency measures, local authorities can also ban travel between regions, Mr Sánchez said. He said he would ask parliament to extend the new rules, initially in force for 15 days, to six months. Spain was hit hard during the first wave of the pandemic earlier this year and imposed a much more restrictive lockdown - one of the toughest in the world. Like many other European regions, however, it has been hit by a second wave of infections. In Italy, new restrictions were also announced on Sunday. The government said the steady rise in cases there was causing a huge strain on the country's health services. Meanwhile France has reported a record number of daily infections. A total of 52,010 infections were reported in the last 24 hours, up from just over 45,000 on Saturday.
