Australia has recorded first local Covid-19 case in more than two weeks after a doctor tested positive for the coronavirus, triggering restrictions in area hospitals and urgent contact tracing of her patients.
Annastacia Palaszczuk, the Queensland state premier, said the unnamed doctor last week treated two patients who had recently returned to Australia and had tested positive for the UK variant.
Russia reported 9,908 new Covid-19 cases on Saturday, including 1,600 in Moscow, taking its total case tally to 4,380,525 since the pandemic began, Reuters reports.
