'Incredibly encouraging' result as WA records just nine new cases of COVID-19There have been just nine new coronavirus cases recorded in Western Australia over the past 24 hours. Yes but it’s easy to keep numbers down when you don’t broaden the testing regime... which apparently isn’t happening until Thursday! So another fortnight before we will actually have an idea of what the transmission within the community is doing.. If we don’t do any tests tomorrow we will have beaten the virus! Where's this information coming from? In the 24 hours to 5pm yesterday 30/3 44 cases were reported. Since we haven't reached 5pm yet today 31/3, isn't this a bit premature? ABC you do a great job but it looks like you made a mistake here.
