Statement from Premier

Yesterday, a member of my family tested positive to COVID-19.

As a close contact, I am isolating at home with my family for seven days.

Yesterday, I attended Rockingham General Hospital to undergo a PCR test and my result came back negative this morning.

I will continue to follow the health guidelines as so many Western Australians have done during this pandemic.

I'll be working from home for the duration of my isolation period as required.

I would like to thank the committed staff at our testing clinics across Western Australia who are doing a vital job in detecting and monitoring the spread of COVID-19.

Western Australians have done such a great job of doing the right thing and following the health advice to keep the spread of the virus to a minimum and reach the soft-landing we all sought out to achieve.

I want to acknowledge the ongoing efforts of our health workers as we navigate our way through the height of our Omicron wave, towards the next chapter in our path through the pandemic.
