Trump's outdoor crowds possibly low due to COVID-19
CNN reporter Abby Phillip, who is covering Donald Trump's re-election rally in Tulsa tweeted this picture of the outdoor area in which organisers had expected thousands of additional supporters to flock to.
Instead very few people appear to have turned up and CNN reported many had concerns about potentially picking up COVID-19 from the mass gathering.
It now appears the outdoor event won't go ahead but the indoor event still appears to have a decent, if slightly lower than expected crowd.
New York Times reporter Astead W. Herndon tweeted this picture of the crowd.

Melbourne declared a COVID-19 hotspot for Queenslanders
By Lucy Stone
All of Melbourne's 31 local government areas have been declared COVID-19 hotspots for Queenslanders, meaning anyone who travels to the city must self-quarantine for 14 days on their return to Queensland.
On Sunday morning Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young updated the list of hotspots, adding all of Melbourne's local government areas and another five council areas bordering Melbourne.

"The update to declared hotspots follows the recent increase in new COVID-19 cases in Greater Melbourne, along with several active outbreaks demonstrating community transmission and the risk of community transmission within the Greater Melbourne region," a Queensland Health spokesman said.
The update comes as Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews cancelled further plans to ease restrictions in the state after a worrying spike in cases on Saturday.
Opinion: How would a looming recession reshape Melbourne?
By Nicholas Reece
Melbourne has been blessed by almost three decades of record economic growth. High levels of immigration and an international student boom has delivered rivers of gold for the city.

But the coronavirus health crisis has become an economic crisis and Melbourne has likely been plunged into a severe recession for the first time since 1990.
Whether office workers, students, tourists and immigrants come back to Melbourne in exactly the same way is unlikely.
What we do know is that economic crises reshape cities and societies. The economic recession of the 1990s changed Melbourne in profound ways that are still evident to this day.
