How life will change on WA border open date, when a raft of COVID restrictions will take effect

After two years, Western Australia's hard border is finally coming down. From Saturday, February 5, interstate and overseas visitors will finally be allowed to travel to WA with relative freedom — ending the "island within an island" COVID-mitigation approach Mark McGowan has championed since the start of the pandemic. After almost two years of restricted travel under WA's hard border, families will be reunited. Mark McGowan says WA can safely reconnect with the world when the 90 per cent jab target is met. But with a vaccination rate that will be at or near 90 per cent by the time WA reopens, Mr McGowan says the state can now safely reunite with the world without overwhelming its health system.
