And just in:

Two more Australians infected with COVID-19 have died, bringing the country's death toll to 16.

A 75-year-old woman who had been a passenger on board the Ruby Princess cruise ship died in Queensland, and a man in his 80s died in a Melbourne hospital.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Scott Morrison says the rate of new coronavirus cases in Australia has fallen from 25-30 per cent last week to 13-15 per cent.

"They are still strong rates of increase, no doubt about that," Mr Morrison said.

"But because we take the measures we have been taking and put them in place and we have the cooperation from the Australian people, that in turn has an impact on how we are managing the spread of the virus.

"It's also how that impacts on our health system, on the population, and people's jobs and livelihoods."

<sub>So we are not seeing the tragic impact of overstreatched ICU wards. But of course, 16 deaths is still shocking and horrible for the families.

Let's see if the trend is on- for everyone's sake.</sub>
