In good news to start the week, Mark McGowan has confirmed there have been no new local cases recorded outside of the known 3 reported local cases from yesterday.

However, it is too early to tell whether Perth has avoided an Omicron outbreak;

“We need to expect there are more cases in the community and we need to track them down.

Test results that are returned today and tomorrow will be telling,” said Mr McGowan.
