Australia's coronavirus outbreak has largely been a success story in this pandemic, with fewer than 8000 total recorded cases and just 104 deaths. The virus is effectively eliminated in some parts of the country. But the state of Victoria is considering new lockdown orders after 49 cases were recorded from clusters in Melbourne yesterday -- that was the state's highest daily total since early April.

Melissa Davey is the Melbourne bureau chief for The Guardian newspaper. Newshour's James Menendez asked her - Is this a second wave of infections in Australia?
