That brings us to the end of another day of live coronavirus news. As always, our rolling coverage will be back early tomorrow morning.
What were the main stories around the country today?
Victoria recorded one new case on Tuesday and no deaths.

A second case was reclassified as it related to a person with a Victorian address who is quarantining interstate. The Premier flagged further easing of restrictions this weekend, depending on this week's numbers.
