Number of Victorian travellers currently in WA unknown, WA Government says
Western Australia’s Acting Premier says he remains confident the state’s approach to Victoria’s growing outbreak is appropriate, but concedes he does not know how many travellers from the state have decided to stay on in WA.
Key points:
- WA closed its border to Victoria at midnight on New Year’s Eve
- Many travellers who had already arrived in WA were ordered to self-isolate
- As a result, some chose to leave the state, but the numbers remain unclear
WA closed its border to Victoria at midnight on Thursday, only allowing in travellers who meet specific exemption criteria.
Anyone who arrived in WA from Victoria from December 21 must self-quarantine for the first 14 days they are in the state, and take a COVID test on day 11.
