The Australian capital Canberra is going into a snap one-week lockdown after recording its first case of Covid-19 in more than a year.
It will come into effect at 17:00 local time on Thursday (07:00 GMT).
The lockdown was called for the whole of the Australian Capital Territory - home to around 400,000 people - because authorities do not know how the infected person caught the virus.
