Three-year-old child among new WA coronavirus cases

Meanwhile, one of the crew members from the Al Kuwait livestock carrier, who previously tested positive to the virus, has been admitted to hospital.The case was identified through serology testing, which was part of the Department's investigation to determine potential sources of the virus on board the ship.

All but 10 of the 48 crew are quarantined in city hotels, with the exception of the crew member in hospital, while those who remain on the ship have all tested negative. Earlier this month, three other historical infections were detected in women, who had all recovered by the time their diagnosis was confirmed.A decision is yet to be made on the fate of the 56,000 sheep that were meant to have been transported to the Middle East on the Al Kuwait.

In a statement released on Sunday, the Federal Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment said it was still considering the application for an exemption, but expected a decision would be made early in the week.WA Police Minister Michelle Roberts said there were a number of options regarding the 56,000 ship due to be loaded onto the Al Kuwait.

Just proves how crucial these quarantines are. Not sure how international travel could ever resume without it. With the exception of a vaccine

Well the theory of “Children does not catch the virus....” is not true as now a 3 year kid in WA has the virus too. Now who was the bright spark who said that again?

Back to lockdown?
