There have been just nine new coronavirus cases recorded in Western Australia over the past 24 hours.

"The State Government recognises that there are a number of cohorts in our community that are more vulnerable to COVID-19," Community Services Minister Simone McGurk said.

"The Hotels with Heart pilot learns from similar initiatives happening interstate and around the world, including in the United Kingdom, America and Canada. "With the help of community service organisations, this initiative will take the pressure off the health system in Western Australia and potentially help to flatten the curve as the state fights to stop the spread of COVID-19."What the experts are saying about coronavirus:The Government also wants COVID-19 patients to have access to cutting edge treatments on trial around the world.

It plans to introduce legislation into Parliament today to allow guardians or next of kin to consent to medical research and experimental treatments. Currently, guardians or next of kin can only make decisions regarding medical treatment, not participation in medical research.

Weird how not resting for the virus results in no new known cases.

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.

If we don’t do any tests tomorrow we will have beaten the virus!

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..
