21.01.2022 Your Weekly WA COVID Briefing Changes Since Friday 10 July CONFIRMED CASES: 648 +18 ACTIVE CASES: 26 +7... RECOVERED: 613 +11 IN HOSPITAL/ICU: 0 - DEATHS: 9 - TESTS: 219,758 +14,829 *** CASES: Since Friday's update, we have had 18 new confirmed cases, which have either been historic cases or returned travellers. Of the current active cases, 19 are West Aussies, 7 are interstate travellers. There is a case today of a West Aussie who has returned from Victoria, and has been confirmed COVID-19 positive. He was self-isolating at home, and now will be going into hotel quarantine. *** HOTEL QUARANTINE: From today, all arrivals from O/S will have to pay for hotel quarantine. As a result of what happens in VIC, this will also apply to people travellers from that state into WA. *** VICTORIA: The situation in Victoria continues to deteriorate, with 428 new cases today alone. There are 5165 confirmed cases in VIC. As a result, this means that all people entering WA who have been in Victoria for the last 14 days will be moved into mandatory hotel quarantine, paid for at their own expense. I have attached a graph of Victoria and their daily cases (bars) & a 7 day average (line) from COVID19Data.com.au since 1 March 2020

17.01.2022 Your Weekly WA COVID Update Since Saturday 13 June CONFIRMED CASES: 603 +1 ACTIVE CASES: 2 -16... RECOVERED: 592 +17 IN HOSPITAL/ICU: 0 - DEATHS: 9 - TESTS: 155,815 +21,324 *** CASES: WA continues to have very low rates of infection. None of our active cases are in hospital and all the Al Kuwait vessel cases have recovered. *** SCHOOL STUDY: The Telethon Kids Institute last week started a study in 80 schools across the state, scanning the school community for possible undetected COVID-19 cases. Between now and the end of July, nurses will visit 40 schools across the state & conduct up to 150 swab tests on a random sample of volunteers. Results will be processed by PathWest, and the process will be repeated twice more before September 2020. *** DETECT STUDY: 18,409 people were tested via DETECT Snapshot (which tested healthcare, school, retail, hospo, meat workers etc) through to June 10. During this testing blitz, not one person tested positive for COVID-19. The median age of people tested was 47 years, and 72% were female. This should give great confidence that there is no undetected community spread of COVID. *** ELECTIVE SURGERY: On 15 June, elective surgery resumed to 100% levels. Approximately 3,550 West Aussies would have had their procedures undertaken this week. *** HOTEL QUARANTINE: To yesterday, 5,291 mostly international travellers have quarantined at hotels as per quarantine directions. In addition, 198 passengers from the Vasco da Gama cruise ship and 211 returned travellers from a South African flight were accommodated at Rottnest Island. As at yesterday, 841 travellers are residing in a hotel706 are in quarantine and 135 have completed quarantine and are awaiting transport to their next destination. A total of 128 passengers have tested positive for COVID-19 while in hotel quarantine. Up until 15 June 2020, the total for quarantining people in Perth’s hotels is $14 071 186. The total so far for quarantining people at Rottnest Island is $710 369. The State & Federal Government's split this cost 50%. *** GET THE COVIDSAFE APP: www.covidsafe.gov.au

RECOVERED: 602 +4 IN HOSPITAL/ICU: 0 - DEATHS: 9 - TESTS: 204,929 +12,716 *** CASES: Since Friday's update, we have had 19 new confirmed cases, which have either been historic cases or returned travellers. This number includes: An historic case relating to a woman in her 60’s who is a returned overseas traveller and was a former passenger on the cruise ship Zaandam. Four women & two men aged between 40-64, were all passengers on a flight from Dubai which arrived in Perth on 1 July and returned positive test results Two of cases are interstate residents who travelled from Indonesia A West Aussie who was on a flight from Doha All active confirmed cases are in hotel quarantine in Perth. *** HOTEL QUARANTINE: Given the number of returning overseas travellers that have to quarantine in hotels on arrival into Australia, the National Cabinet has agreed that from Friday 27 July all international arrivals will have to pay for their 14 days of hotel quarantine. We will now have an official maximum of 525 international passengers into Perth each week from Sunday. *** PHASE 5: Is being pushed back in WA until 1 August. It was planned to be implemented from 18 July, and would have removed things like the 2sqm rule and expanded the crowd capacity for venues like Perth stadium. This has now been delayed in part due to the number of people in hotel quarantine & the worsening situation in Victoria. This stands as a reminder that we cannot be complacent, the risk to our state is very real. *** VICTORIA: The situation in Victoria continues to deteriorate, with 288 new confirmed cases today alone. The biggest increase since the pandemic began. There is now 1172 active cases in the state, with Melbourne & the shire of Mitchell in lockdown.
