New COVID-19 restrictions on travel within WA as big queues form on WA/SA border ahead of closure
The WA Government is planning to restrict travel between Western Australia's regions to halt the spread of COVID-19 as residents have been advised to cancel holidays within the state. "Our new border restrictions have helped put a complete stop, a major stop, or major restriction, on any unnecessary travel interstate," Mr McGowan said. Regional lockdown would spell devastation for businesses Mr McGowan conceded the travel restrictions on the state's nine regions would be met with complaints, acknowledging the measures were "extreme". Essential travel to still be allowed Mr McGowan said the stricter travel restrictions within the state would help to stop the spread of the virus and better protect some of WA's most vulnerable residents.
