Schools back for WA's lockdown students - Armidale Express

Schools in Perth are set to resume after last week's lockdown, with masks to be mandatory for secondary students. The precaution from Monday is part of transition arrangements for Perth and Peel after the five-day lockdown, sparked by a coronavirus case in a hotel quarantine security guard. A range of restrictions will remain in place until February 14. All residents must continue to wear masks while outside their homes except for during vigorous outdoor exercise. A 20-person limit will be imposed on all private indoor gatherings, while a four square metre rule and a cap of 150 attendees will apply to hospitality and retail venues and weddings. Restaurants, pubs and bars can only have seated service and only essential travel is permitted in and out of the combined restricted zone. Western Australia will also keep its border restrictions in place for both NSW and Victoria. Travellers from those regions are required to isolate for 14 days and present for a coronavirus test on day 11. Health Minister Roger Cook said WA was in a good place after moving "quickly and decisively" to crush the outbreak. He said health officials were continuing to hunt for more contacts of the security guard with almost all of those identified so far returning negative COVID-19 results. Authorities have identified 528 people linked in some way to the guard, who unwittingly roamed the streets of Perth while infectious. So far 522 have tested negative with just six waiting on test results. Australian Associated Press
