After two “donut days” West Australians are awaiting the test results on the third day of the State’s five-day lockdown.
No new COVID-19 cases have been reported since a security guard tested positive for the highly-contagious UK strain of the virus on Saturday night but, with 151 close contacts of the man identified, the State is anxiously waiting to see if the outbreak has spread.
So far, 104 of the close contacts have returned negative test results.
Yesterday, Premier Mark McGowan revealed more than 16,000 West Australians had been tested, which include those who attended about 20 venues visited by the security guard in the week he tested positive.
“It was an incredible result,” Mr McGowan told reporters.
“Thank you to everyone who came forward and got tested. You’ve all done your state proud.”
