WA records 0 new COVID-19 cases overnight.
For the first time since March 12 – Western Australia has recorded no new cases of COVID-19 overnight in the latest Perth coronavirus update from Mark McGowan.
“We had zero additional cases of COVID-19 in the last 24 hours,” WA’s Premier Mark McGowan said.
“The strict measures introduced, the tough border closures and the regional travel restrictions — these have all played a major role in our success in minimising the spread and the impact of COVID-19.”
Despite the remarkable achievement, Mr McGowan said WA is unlikely to lift restrictions until health authorities report consistently low numbers.
Coronavirus snapshot:
- 545 confirmed cases in WA
- 221 of which are linked to cruise ships
- 426 people have recovered from COVID-19 in WA
- 6 people are in ICU
