澳洲新闻 (ABC新闻快递) 停靠澳大利亚货船发生新冠病毒集体感染

Authorities in three states are on high alert this morning, with coronavirus outbreaks at schools, a nursing home and on board a live export ship. Officials in Perth are scrambling¹ to contain the outbreak on the ship docked at Fremantle, as the state and federal governments trade barbs² over whether Western Australia was forewarned about illness on board.

And in Victoria, two staff members at the Lynden aged³ care facility in Camberwell have tested positive to COVID-19, a week after a resident was diagnosed with the illness.
