WA Health has issued advice for recently returned travellers from NSW, after a positive case was detected in Sydney.

All arrivals into WA from NSW between Wednesday 9 June and Wednesday 16 June who have been to any of the listed exposure sites during the relevant times are required to:

  • get a COVID-19 test
  • self-quarantine for 14 days from date of exposure
  • present for a day 11 COVID-19 test

This advice applies to both lists on the NSW Health site, as close and casual contacts are managed the same way.

Arrivals from NSW should continue to monitor NSW Health’s website for updated exposure sites.

NSW Health is in the process of contact tracing the case and will notify WA Health if any close or casual contacts are found to be in WA.

A list of testing clinics is available on the HealthyWA website
