Victoria has record daily increase in coronavirus cases, 191 infections diagnosed

The ABC understands Victoria has recorded 191 new cases of coronavirus overnight, the largest single-day increase so far in the state.
Premier Daniel Andrews is expected to hold a press conference this afternoon to provide an update on Victoria's coronavirus cases.
This morning there was a meeting of the Crisis Council of Cabinet, which includes the Premier and seven senior ministers.
The possibility of further lockdowns is a real prospect, with Mr Andrews previously warning more postcodes could have restrictions reimposed on them if the virus continues to spread.

Currently, 12 postcodes covering 39 Melbourne suburbs are under stage three stay-at-home orders.
Nine public housing towers are under even more strict "detention orders", forbidding the approximately 3,000 residents from leaving their homes.
The City of Wyndham, in Melbourne's outer west, has recorded a big increase in recent days but has no postcodes under the increased restrictions.
Yesterday the state announced 127 new cases had been diagnosed, prompting the NSW-Victoria to be closed.
People from Melbourne were banned from entering NSW from midnight last night, and the rest of the state will be barred from midnight tonight.
Unlike at the peak in new cases recorded at the start of the pandemic, when many of the new infections were linked to returned travellers, the vast majority of the cases over the past three weeks have been locally acquired.
More to come.
