A 30 years old man Australia’s youngest person die coronavirus

A man in his 30s has become Australia’s youngest person to die from coronavirus, one of a record number of daily deaths and cases reported by Victoria.

Fifteen new deaths and 725 new cases were recorded in Victoria overnight — the highest daily totals since the pandemic began.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said 12 of the 15 deaths were linked to aged care settings.

Among the dead are three men and one woman in their 70s, three men and three women in their 80s, and three men and one woman in their 90s.

No further details on the man in his 30s were provided.

The record numbers come ahead of another wave of restrictions coming into effect around Victoria from midnight tonight.

Regional Victoria will return to stage 3 restrictions, many Melbourne businesses will have to close their doors, and limits will be placed on who can access child care and kindergarten.

The Premier today assured Victorians that permitted workers who had no-one else to care for their child, even if they were working from home, would continue to have access to child care.

Mr Andrews said vulnerable children would also be able to continue using those services, however he acknowledged “many, many” families would miss out.

“I know this will cause significant concern and it will be very challenging for many families — but if I were to simply greenlight the best part of a quarter of million kids going to and from child care every day, we will not drive these numbers down,” he said.

To apply, parents need to fill in a Permitted Worker Permit or Access To Childcare Scheme form, available on the Victorian Government’s website.
