Face of Nation International : Mr McGowan said the proposed restrictions would mean only West Australians would be allowed into the state, with exemptions for those travelling for essential purposes or on compassionate grounds.
He said further details would be announced if the WA Government decided to go ahead with the plan but said people in other states who wanted to visit WA were not welcome. “If you are not a West Australian and you want to come to Western Australia don’t come. We don’t want you. Stay at home,” the Premier said
“West Australians who are still over east, if you want to come home, come home now.” Mr McGowan also revealed the National Cabinet was set to consider further stage 3 restrictions on gatherings, including banning the use of playgrounds and outdoor groups.
WA Health Minister Roger Cook said another 33 people in the state had been diagnosed with COVID-19 in the past 24 hours, taking the state’s total to 311.
Cruise ships were responsible for seven of the new cases, including three people taken off the infected Artenia, which is docked in Fremantle. (Source: ABC News – Australia)
