This is what lockdown in Perth looks like

Hers was one of the few businesses open on a very quiet Oxford Street.

Nearby at a Thai restaurant, chef James Sansit had already lost four of his next seven shifts and was not sure how he would pay the bills."I've got rent to pay. Still working it out," Mr Sansit said. "I think it's the right thing to do, definitely, because you're keeping everybody safe, you're preventing it from getting out there like other states and countries," she said.Nada and Berbie Schmidiger, who expected their work in tourism would take a blow, fully support the lockdown.

Shops were shuttered at Morley Galleria, which was virtually deserted on the first day of the five-day lockdown. Nadija Begovich's five-year-old daughter Tijana had been preparing for her first day of primary school before Perth's lockdown postponed the start of the school year. They would monitor seven checkpoints in the Perth area and eight in the regions until the end of the five-day restriction period.

People are getting covid fatigue. Sick and tired of it and over it

I’m amazed that in WA the incubation period for covid is only 5 days and not up to 14 like the rest of the world. It should be a 14 day lockdown as per the health advice and basic maths.

Not sure it looks much different than regular Perth
