|Updated:
The state of emergency for the south-east Australian state of Victoria has been extended until at least May 11 as new cases of the CCP virus, commonly known as the coronavirus, continue to decline.
Victoria’s Labor premier Daniel Andrews made the announcement on April 12—the same day that 112 Australian and New Zealand passengers from the Greg Mortimer cruise ship landed at Melbourne Airport.
