Western Australia reopens to the world next month

Western Australia’s hard borders will swing open on March 3.

It allows triple-jabbed vaccinated arrivals from out of state to enter WA without quarantining.

International arrivals will also be permitted and must take a rapid antigen test within 12 hours of arriving.

There is a cap of 70 per week for unvaccinated Australians returning to Perth who must undergo a week of hotel quarantine.

“March 3 will be a step forward for Western Australia, a safe step forward, taken at the right time, in the right way, for the right reasons,” state Premier Mark McGowan said.

The Premier unveiled various restrictions to contain the spread of the virus.

Indoor mask mandates will be extended to apply to the entire state.

The state government is currently providing all interstate and international arrivals with two Rapid Antigen Tests so they can self-administer at home and from March 3.

One test will be provided to each arrival to meet the new interim controls.
