WA Health has been notified by NSW Health that a NSW truck driver, who was in Western Australia from 16 to 18 September, has returned a positive PCR test for COVID-19.
The driver had returned a negative test result in NSW on 13 September, and therefore was not subject to a rapid antigen test when entering Western Australia.
NSW Health reports the second driver in the truck has returned a negative PCR test result.
The drivers have informed WA Health they were wearing masks when outside of the truck at all times.
A list of exposure locations is available and will be regularly updated.
People who have visited exposure sites at the relevant times need to get tested immediately and self-quarantine until they receive a negative test result.
Western Australians are encouraged to stay vigilant and get tested immediately if they develop COVID-19 symptoms, and use SafeWA and mandatory contact registers to check into businesses and venues.
A list of testing clinics is available on the HealthyWA website (external link).
