As it happened: Victoria records 428 new COVID-19 cases and three deaths as NSW restrictions upgraded for pubs, weddings and funerals; Australian death toll jumps to 116

Popular activewear brand Lorna Jane has been hit with fines totalling almost $40,000 over a new range it initially spruiked as “anti-virus”, with Australia’s medical watchdog warning such advertising could create complacency among the community during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The clothing line was launched earlier this month and promised to protect wearers from viruses and germs. By Thursday, the company website was instead referring to the leggings and tops as “anti-bacterial”.

After confirming it was investigating the range, the Therapeutic Goods Administration issued a statement on Friday confirming it had issued three fines worth $39,960 to the Brisbane label.

The watchdog, which comes under the federal Health Department, said that in its advertising of the “anti-virus activewear” Lorna Jane had implied it was “effective against COVID-19”.

Mito, Japan: Fresh coronavirus outbreaks, even in places as far flung as China’s western Xinjiang region, are prompting worldwide moves to guard against the pandemic, as the number of confirmed cases globally approaches 14 million.

India on Friday said it had surpassed 1 million cases, third only to the United States and Brazil, with nearly 25,000 deaths. The grim milestone drove home concerns over the country's readiness to deal with an inevitable surge that could overwhelm hospitals and test its feeble healthcare system.

In Bangalore, a city that prides itself as a centre of technology innovation, the government ordered a week-long lockdown that began on Tuesday evening after the cases surged exponentially.

Local governments are frantically trying to quash outbreaks and keep their economies running as the pandemic spreads in the vast countryside.

London: The United States, United Kingdom and Canada have accused Russian intelligence services of launching "despicable" hacking attacks on western medical companies and research labs working on coronavirus vaccines and treatments.

In a joint statement the three governments said Russian hackers had been using a variety of tools and techniques, including spear-phishing and custom malware to steal research from medical companies and research labs.

Britain's National Cyber Security Centre has said that hackers backed by the Russian state are trying to steal COVID-19 vaccine and treatment research from academic and pharmaceutical institutions around the world.

Canada's Communications Security Establishment, the agency responsible for the country's foreign signals intelligence, said the attacks served to "hinder response efforts at a time when healthcare experts and medical researchers need every available resource to help fight the pandemic".

People travelling to Western Australia from Victoria will now be subject to compulsory hotel quarantine as part of a series of additional measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Those who have travelled through Victoria in the last 14 days but are coming to WA from another state will also be subject to compulsory hotel isolation at their own expense.

From today, arrivals from NSW will also be subject to compulsory coronavirus testing and from midnight on Sunday mandatory hotel quarantine.

Speaking to reporters on Friday, WA Health Minister Roger Cook said the situation in Victoria was “devastating” and required the state government to take action immediately.

A Victorian man allegedly trying to enter Queensland for a third time is the latest person to be hit with a $4003 fine under the Queensland's border restrictions.

Police stopped the 27-year-old on Thursday afternoon at a checkpoint near Texas, about 300 kilometres south-west of Brisbane on the Queensland-NSW border.

It’s alleged the man had already been refused entry on both Wednesday and Thursday and claimed to have not recently been in his home state, which is a declared hot spot under Queensland public health directions.

“Victoria police spoke to you on the seventh of July, so you have been in Victoria in the last 14-days,” an officer can be heard telling the man in body camera footage.
