Australia reported on Monday 19 new coronavirus deaths, Victoria, the epicentre of the virus wave of the moment in the country, has noticed a decrease in the infections shown.
Victoria reported 322 new infections shown in more than 24 hours, marking a minimum of two weeks, authorities said. However, the state’s prime minister, Daniel Andrews, said you can’t read too much data for a day.

U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar met Monday with President Tsai Ing-wen in Tapei about Taiwan’s reaction to coronavirus.
The meeting, which was the highest-level visit by an American official since formal ties broke between the two countries in 1979, was aimed at discussing “more breakthroughs and fruits of cooperation” to deal with the pandemic, Tsai told reporters.
“It is a real honor to be here to convey a strong message and friendship from President Trump in Taiwan,” Azar said, attributing Taiwan’s successful reaction to COVID-19 to “the open, transparent and democratic nature of Taiwan society and culture.”
