    MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - JUNE 29: A member of the ADF (Australian Defence Force) administers a COVID-19 test at Melbourne Showgrounds on June 29, 2020 in Melbourne, Australia. Victoria has recorded 75 new coronavirus cases overnight, the state's fourth-highest single day rise since the start of the pandemic, while increased testing in Melbourne suburbs that have been identified as community transmission hotspots for coronavirus continues. Restrictions in Victoria have been tightened in response to the spike in new cases across the state with premier Daniel Andrews extending the current state of emergency for at least four weeks to allow police the power to enforce social distancing rules.
