Australia to conduct over 1 lakh door-to-door Covid-19 tests

Sydney: Australian health workers will go door-to-door testing of more than 1 lakh residents in a coronavirus hot spot in suburban Melbourne that is threatening to undo the nation's success in battling the virus.

Victoria state on Thursday reported 33 new cases, the highest daily number in more than two months.

The tests are free and Andrews is urging people to see undergoing testing as a civic duty.
