20.01.2022 Past experience tells us victims of family and domestic violence are at increased risk during times of crisis. And there is no doubt that COVID-19 presents new ...ways for perpetrators to isolate, monitor and control their partners and family members. To protect victims and survivors during this challenging period, the McGowan Government has moved to allow applications for restraining orders to be made online through registered legal services such as Legal Aid WA, Aboriginal Family Law Services and community legal services. Anybody can contact these agencies by phone or in person and be assisted with the lodgement of their application. The change is one of a raft of legislative reforms to keep Western Australians safe at a time when many are isolated from their communities. For more information visit www.victimsofcrime.wa.gov.au.

20.01.2022 This is our WA COVID-19 update for Tuesday, 29 September 2020. ---- - Current cases -... There have been eight new cases of COVID-19 in Western Australia overnight related to the Patricia Oldendorff vessel. These are the eight cases publicly announced yesterday. The total number of cases associated with the vessel today remains at 17, with seven infected crew still aboard the vessel. The State’s total stands at 684. There are 22 active cases being monitored. To date, 653 confirmed cases have recovered from the virus in WA. Yesterday 469 people presented to WA COVID-19 clinics 465 were assessed and 462 swabbed. There have been 413,446 COVID-19 tests performed in WA. Of those tested, 71,018 were from regional WA. ---- - Testing - Anyone in WA will now be assessed for a COVID-19 test if they present with ANY of the following: - present with a fever of 37.5C or above - have had a fever in the last few days (for example, night sweats or chills), without a known source - have acute respiratory symptoms (for example, coughing, shortness of breath, sore throat) - acute loss of smell or taste If you have these symptoms, please get tested, and help us identify every case of COVID-19 in WA as early as possible. 10 COVID clinics are now operational visit https://healthywa.wa.gov.au/Articles/A_E/COVID-clinics to find your local COVID clinic or other testing locations. In other regional areas, people should go to a public hospital, health service or remote health clinic. Please call ahead if you are concerned that you have contracted COVID-19. Patients will be assessed and where appropriate tested, provided with appropriate information and referred for further medical treatment if necessary. Those individuals who are tested and well enough to return home, will be asked to self-isolate while they await test results. Anyone who is confirmed to have COVID-19, who does not require hospitalisation will be required to stay in self-isolation as instructed by the public health team. ---- - Closure of the WA border - Western Australia's borders are closed to travel from interstate. -Changes to quarantine requirements for Victorian arrivals- Effective next Monday, 5 October, arrivals to Western Australia who have been in Victoria in the previous two weeks will be allowed to complete self-quarantine, instead of in a hotel, where that is possible. The limited exemption categories for Victorian arrivals will continue to apply and they will continue to be subject to mandatory COVID-19 tests on arrival and on day 11 of their quarantine. The number of exemptions are significantly reduced, meaning only specific essential workers, transport and freight workers and those persons approved by the State Emergency Coordinator, on the advice of the Chief Health Officer, will be permitted to enter WA from Victoria. Please note that any exempt traveller from Victoria who arrives before next Monday will still need to serve their full 14 days of quarantine in a hotel. -Changes to travel restrictions for NSW arrivals- From Monday, 5 October, the additional restrictions which had applied to New South Wales will be lifted. This means that the current conditions that apply to other States and Territories, except Victoria, will now apply to NSW as well. This change will allow for more exempt travel to occur from New South Wales. These changes are based on our latest health advice. Currently for states other than Victoria and NSW, an exempt traveller who will be allowed into our State, must perform one of the following functions: - Health services - Emergency services - Transport, freight and logistics - Specialists skills, not available in WA, for industry or business continuity; - National or State security and governance; and - Courts and judicial services. There are also exemptions for FIFO workers and their families, however strict 14-day quarantine measures will need to be followed, when they first enter the State. Further exemptions will also apply on compassionate grounds. More information and a list of exemptions can be found at www.wa.gov.au/covid19 If you are aware of someone breaching a requirement to self-isolate - please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or WA Police on 131 444. ---- Official information regarding COVID-19 in Western Australia - www.wa.gov.au/covid19 Information on WA's roadmap for easing restrictions - www.wa.gov.au/covid19roadmap WA Department of Health information www.healthywa.wa.gov.au National Coronavirus Helpline 1800 020 080 WA COVID-19 health and information and advice - 13 COVID (13 26843) Smartraveller information regarding travel advice for Australians - www.smartraveller.gov.au

It is important that we all continue to remain calm, vigilant and use common sense. The best thing we can do to protect ourselves is quality personal hygiene and exercise physical distancing by avoiding unnecessary personal contact. That includes covering coughs and sneezes, washing hands often with soap or sanitiser, staying home from work or school if unwell, avoiding shaking hands or hugging, and maintaining physical distance from others in public. Please also continue to follow the advice of authorities and doctors - anyone who is instructed to self-isolate must take the order seriously, stay home and not put others at risk. ---- Official information regarding COVID-19 in Western Australia - www.wa.gov.au/covid19 WA Department of Health information www.healthywa.wa.gov.au National Coronavirus Helpline 1800 020 080 WA COVID-19 health and information and advice - 13 COVID (13 26843) Smartraveller information regarding travel advice for Australians - www.smartraveller.gov.au

08.01.2022 Mark McGowan: Just because were fighting a pandemic doesnt mean other health issues stop. If youre unwell at the moment, or have any health issues which need addressing, you should still make an appointment to see your doctor.... Over the last two months, the number of people accessing health services has fallen significantly. We all know that dealing with something early is best, so if you have a health issue, dont put off that trip to see your doctor. I can assure you that its safe to do so, and appointments are available. Many clinics are doing video or phone appointments as well as in person consults. But as usual we will continue to ask that if you have symptoms of COVID-19 (like a fever, cough, sore throat or difficulty breathing), please call ahead first or visit a COVID clinic if theres one in your area. If youre feeling off, dont put it off.
