Ministry of Health officials have this evening been advised a worker at a Perth managed isolation facility has tested positive for COVID-19 as part of routine testing. Two of the person's housemates have also tested positive.
Ministry officials have conducted a rapid public health assessment for New Zealand, and have determined scheduled direct flights from Western Australia to New Zealand should be immediately paused while a further assessment is carried out, including a further assessment and information from Australian health officials.
Western Australian health officials have determined a number of locations of interest, which are listed on its website.
Anyone who has left Perth in the past four days and arrived in New Zealand should check the Western Australia website.
