Victoria milestone

Australia's second-most populous state Victoria, the country's COVID-19 epicenter, on Tuesday reported zero deaths from the virus in the past 24 hours, a milestone not recorded for two months.

The state of Victoria said 42 people have been diagnosed with COVID-19 in the past 24 hours, a small increase from the figure posted one day earlier and well below the peak of more than 700 infections detected in August.
