From midnight, one of the hardest borders in the country will begin easing restrictions, but the reopening comes with a big warning.

From 12.01am on Saturday, visitors who arrive from so-called “very low risk” states – South Australia, Tasmania, Queensland and the Northern Territory – will be allowed to enter Western Australia quarantine-free providing they have filled out an online G2G pass. Anyone who arrives without filling in the pass will be put into a “slow queue” and forced to fill out documentation at the airport.

Residents from Victoria or NSW – along with anyone from a “low risk state” who has visited or met with someone from these states in the past 14 days – will need to declare that on their pass, or face “a very heavy fine or jail time”. “If you’ve been in contact and you don’t want to come into a 14-day isolation or quarantine, then don’t come to WA,” WA Police Commissioner Chris Dawson said.WA’s Police Commissioner has a warning for anyone looking to enter the state.
