Another day of rolling COVID-19 updates has come to an end, so we’re closing down the Need To Know blog until tomorrow.

In case you missed it, a quick rundown of the day’s biggest developments:

• Greater Sydney’s lockdown will be extended for another two weeks after NSW recorded 97 new cases, the second-highest daily total in the outbreak.
• Victoria has recorded seven new cases linked to a pair of NSW removalists and a family that has returned from Sydney.
• New exposure sites in Melbourne include the MCG, with 2000 people who were at the Carlton v Geelong match now being contacted.
• Victorians will be forced to undergo 14-day quarantine upon arrival in Western Australia, effective immediately.
• All Victorian AFL teams will be tested for the coronavirus, including the Geelong Cats who were on their way to Perth to play Fremantle.
• WA’s border to NSW will likely remain shut until September.
• South Australian health authorities are investigating a potential quarantine breach in one of their medi-hotels after a man is believed to have caught COVID-19 from another returned traveller on the same floor.
• Vivid Sydney, scheduled for September, has been pushed back by a month.
• More than 12 per cent of the eligible Australian population over 16 has had two vaccine doses and is fully vaccinated.
