Please note, this announcement has been updated to specify the different requirements for close and casual contacts, and low risk casual contacts, as determined by SA Health.
Based on the latest health advice, South Australia will transition from a ‘very low risk’ jurisdiction to a ‘low risk’ jurisdiction at 1.15pm, Saturday 27 November under WA’s controlled border arrangements.
Under the low risk category, travel is permitted from South Australia into WA, subject to the following strict conditions:
- be double dose vaccinated against COVID-19 (if eligible)
- present for a COVID-19 test on arrival (within 48 hours) and on day 12
- self-quarantine for 14 days in suitable premises
- complete a G2G Pass declaration prior to arrival, stipulating they do not have any COVID-19 symptoms and which jurisdictions they have been in the previous 14 days
- land arrivals to be met at the border checkpoint, for a health screening and to have their G2G Pass declaration checked before proceeding to their self-quarantine premises.
Anyone who arrived in WA between Tuesday 23 November and 1.15pm on Saturday 27 November who has been at the listed close or casual exposure venues at the specified times is required to:
- self-quarantine for 14 days
- be tested within 48 hours, and on day 12.
It is important that recent travellers from South Australian familiarise themselves with the latest exposure sites (external link) reported by SA Health.
Anyone who has been to a listed “low risk casual contact” site or has not been to these sites but develops any symptoms or are experiencing any symptoms, even mild ones that could be related to COVID-19, is advised to get tested and quarantine until they return a negative test.
The WA Chief Health Officer will continue to monitor and review border controls.
