WA is ready to shift to a controlled border due to the low rates of COVID-19 in other states, its Health Minister Roger Cook says, but he warns stricter measures may be reinstated if an outbreak takes hold.

Under the controlled border rules, people from all states and territories except Victoria and New South Wales will no longer need a special reason to travel to WA and will not have to quarantine on arrival.

In addition, we now have a range of states who have had 28 days since their last locally acquired case."Did you know we offer a local version of the ABC News homepage?
