Cases in Australia’s Victoria state hit 13-month high
Australia’s Victoria state, the country’s second-most populous, has reported the biggest one-day rise in locally acquired Covid-19 cases in more than a year.

US CDC: Vaccines hold up against severe Delta
Fully vaccinated people were 11 times less likely to die of Covid and 10 times less likely to be hospitalised compared to the unvaccinated since highly contagious Delta became the most common variant, US health authorities said.
The data came from one of three new papers published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, all of which underscored Covid vaccines’ ongoing effectiveness against severe outcomes.
For reasons that are not yet well understood, data from one of the studies suggests Moderna’s vaccine has offered a slightly higher level of protection in the Delta period.
