Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison will on Tuesday outline his government’s plans to revive the sputtering economy, but is expected to warn a recovery will take between three to five years.
Australia has reported just over 7,100 Covid-19 infections, including 102 deaths.
That is well below numbers reported by many other developed countries, an achievement it attributes to tough social distancing rules, which have prevented local hospitals from being swamped but taken a heavy toll on the economy.
China reported 7 new confirmed coronavirus cases in the mainland as of end-May 25, up from 11 a day earlier, the National Health Commission reported.
The commission said in a statement all of the new infections were imported cases, involving travellers from overseas.
It also reported 29 new asymptomatic cases - patients who are infected but do not show symptoms - versus 40 a day earlier.
The total number of cases to date in the mainland stands at 82,992. The death toll remains unchanged at 4,634.
