WA again breaks its daily record for COVID-19 cases, with 257 new local infections.

It means triple-dose vaccinated arrivals will be allowed to enter from interstate without needing to quarantine.

International arrivals who meet the Commonwealth's requirements will also be allowed in, and will be required to take a rapid antigen test within 12 hours of arrival. Mark McGowan stands in front of WA's increasing stockpile of RAT kits, which will be compulsory for people entering the state. At the peak, 443 people are expected to be in general hospital beds, with another 53 people in intensive care.Amber-Jade Sanderson says the Omicron wave will be challenging.

Everyday from now is likely to be a new record. Headlines like this are silly.

Almost $4 billion spend on testing healthy population yet at same time stopped elective surgery, reduced access to cancer treatment, reduced preventative medical access Was it worthy?

Health First and Staying Safe.

They’ve already set record for being the dumbest Australians 🤣 auspol

257 cases…

Covid iso kit 👌 And any slightest symptoms and a rat test says negative yet you have that niggle feeling.. go and get a pcr . Cut the chain of spread . Need a high viral load for a rat test to work- case sensitive. Pcr is way more precise.

Been lock up , the virus have a fertile place to spread

Hard to believe that McGowan's been imposing restrictions on West Australians for nearly 2 years and he's still ramping them up even after coercing almost everybody to get double jabbed and 50%+ into taking 3 jabs !!
