Hard border dropped for QLD and NSW
Announced during the week, WA premier Mark McGowan set a date to remove the hard border against Queensland and New South Wales and instead engage a controlled border as of Monday 25th of January 12:01am.
WA border update will see Queensland and NSW restrictions relaxed from Monday, but arrivals will still need to follow strict protocol:
- Self-quarantine for 14 days in a suitable premise;
- Present for a COVID-19 test on day 11;
- All Perth Airport arrivals to undergo a health screening and temperature test on arrival;
- Be prepared to take a COVID-19 test at the airport COVID clinic, if deemed necessary by a health clinician (voluntary asymptomatic testing available for all airport arrivals); and
- Land arrivals to be met at the border checkpoint, for a health screening and to have their G2G Pass declaration checked before proceeding to self-quarantine premise.Â
