Perth COVID lockdown update: WA records no new community cases as contact tracing ramps up
Western Australia has recorded no new community cases of COVID-19 on the first day of a snap three-day lockdown in Perth and the Peel region.
The lockdown was announced on Friday after a 54-year-old Victorian man tested positive for the virus after completing 14 days of hotel quarantine in Perth.
A woman who the man stayed with while in Perth also returned a rapid testing positive result for the virus.
WA Premier Mark McGowan confirmed two new COVID-19 cases had been recorded since yesterday’s case numbers were provided.
However, one case was the Perth woman in her 40s who was a close contact of the Victorian man.
The other new case is a woman in her 50s who is a returned traveller from India and is in hotel quarantine.
