"With little known about the variant, it is important we act with an abundance of caution in dealing with potential spread into WA from overseas travellers arriving in other states," Mr McGowan said.
Mr McGowan said there was concern about the potential of the virus - including potentially the Omicron variant - to spread into WA from interstate as Australian jurisdictions relax border and hotel quarantine requirements. "With the Omicron variant now around the world, the chances are it will come into Sydney, Melbourne. New South Wales no longer has a hotel quarantine system at all. So it's a big risk over there," Mr McGowan said.Mr McGowan acknowledged the changes will affect family reunions between the states over the Christmas and New Year festive season.

South Australia has intestate and international discovered cases from testing. No local transmission as yet. How does this guy even justify this stance? no facts or science, pure fear mongering.
