Western Australia’s Premier says the Omicron variant of COVID-19 has posed a “whole new threat” to the state’s reopening, which has been delayed indefinitely.

Mr McGowan said the biggest concern about the variant was “how easily transmissible and infectious” it is.

“Since the first Omicron case was detected in Australia on December 8, there’s been a 902 per cent increase in hospitalisations in Australia.”

No end date in sight for WA hard borderPremier Mark McGowan says it would be 'irresponsible and reckless' to reopen WA with Omicron raging across the country as he unveiled major changes to the state's opening plan - with no end date in sight for the hard border.
