In the week ending on Sunday, 9 August 2020, the Department of Health has reported one new case of COVID-19 in Western Australia. The new case is a returned traveller from overseas and is in hotel quarantine. This brings the total case count to 642.
This total is reduced from previous total counts because historical cases diagnosed through a blood test and indicative of infection in the past are no longer being reported in the daily report or in overall figures. This change has been made to bring WA’s reporting closer into line with other Australian jurisdictions.
To date, 629 confirmed cases have recovered from the virus in WA. Last week, 4,424 people presented to WA COVID-19 clinics – 4,291 were assessed and 4,266 were swabbed.

該總數與以前的總數相比有所減少，因為通過驗血診斷出的並指示過去感染的歷史病例不再在每日報告或總體數字中報告。 進行此更改的目的是使西澳州的報告與其他澳大利亞轄區更加接近。

  • 州政府的西澳州文化藝術恢復計劃包括對珀斯音樂廳的3000萬澳元重建；1500萬澳元升級劇院；600萬美元用於Yokine的猶太社區中心；以及整個西澳大利亞州的其他文化藝術項目。

5 July 2020 (7月5日2020)

In the week ending on Sunday, 5 July 2020, the Department of Health has reported eight new cases and one historical case, identified through serology testing, of COVD-19 in Western Australia. The State’s total now stands at 618; and a total of 600 people have recovered from COVID-19 in WA.
Six cases were reported on Sunday, 5 July 2020, and are all returned overseas travellers currently in hotel quarantine. Four women and two men aged between 40-64, were all passengers on a flight from Dubai which arrived in Perth on 1 July 2020 and returned positive test results following WA Health screening conducted on day two after their arrival. The Department of Health is interviewing all passengers on the flight, who are also all in hotel quarantine, to ascertain if there were any close contacts to the newly diagnosed cases onboard.
Last week, 3,671 people presented to WA COVID-19 clinics – 3,596 were assessed and 3,476 were swabbed.
On Tuesday, 30 June 2020, it was announced that live music in WA is officially back with the announcement that up to 4000 fans will be able to support popular local bands on Saturday, 18 July 2020, the day WA celebrates the lifting of all COVID-19 crowd restrictions.WA Unlocked, to be held at HBF Stadium, will be the first major live music event to be held in WA following the COVID-19 pandemic, which is a further testament to WA's outstanding management of the health crisis. The resumption of live events means thousands of Western Australians are set to be gainfully employed across several industries, including events, catering, music, production, transport, retail and hospitality.
In addition, the State Government and Rex airlines have secured additional services to Albany, Esperance and Carnarvon while also increasing access to discounted community fares. Air services are doubling to eight per week on the Albany and Esperance air routes, while the Carnarvon air route will increase from three to five weekly return services.
Conditions around the purchase of community airfares will be relaxed, allowing all remaining seats to be sold at community fare prices within 7 days prior to departure, instead of 24-hours. The ability to purchase the community fare more than 30 days prior to departure remains in place.
The one-way community fare is priced at $139 for Albany, $138 for Esperance, $158 for Monkey Mia and $199 for Carnarvon and it is available to everyone for travel each way.
Due to the impacts of COVID-19, the State Government has worked with the Commonwealth to underwrite up to four weekly services on the Albany and Esperance routes and three weekly return services on the Carnarvon and Monkey Mia air routes. A new deed signed between the State Government and Rex has extended the funding for these flights until 30 September 2020. These additional routes and access to community air fares will encourage demand and help stimulate local regional economies as the State continues to recover from COVID-19.
On Wednesday, 1 July 2020, it was announced that a $195,000 relief fund will be available for eligible regional art galleries that had to cancel exhibitions and close their doors due to COVID-19. The funding will ensure the galleries have the capacity required to host visual art exhibitions and activities in the future as part of the Regional Exhibition Touring Boost (RETB). It will assist recovery in re-establishing vital community arts activity.
The RETB is an $8 million election commitment creating more opportunities for regional Western Australians to engage with visual arts, by increasing the number of touring exhibitions to regional towns and communities. The RETB is delivered by Art on the Move (AOTM) and the Art Gallery of WA, and is managed by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries.
On Thursday, 2 July 2020, the results of the second WA health system staff engagement survey have shown increased employee engagement, and a workforce positive about their roles and strongly committed to patient care. Despite the interruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, the survey - which was undertaken in March - resulted in an Employment Engagement Index of 66%, up from 62% last year.
The latest survey results can be found at http://www.health.wa.gov.au/staffsurvey.
Health service providers are reviewing the survey results to ensure support can be provided to those particular areas where improvement is necessary between now and the next survey, to take place in March 2021.
On Friday, 3 July 2020, the State Government amended the Mining Regulations 1981 to support stakeholders impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the revised regulations, tenement holders can now apply for expenditure exemptions if they are able to demonstrate that COVID-19 has affected their ability to meet their expenditure conditions.
The temporary amendments reduce the amount of time allowed for an objection to be lodged, from 35 days to 14 days, and all exemption applications will now be published online. Providing clear guidance should also minimise the requests for additional information from the applicant.
Additionally, researchers at Perth Children's Hospital (PCH) have kick-started two research projects to help better understand the rate and prevalence of COVID-19 in children. These projects will test for evidence of COVID-19 in children not showing symptoms - given symptoms and disease of children tend to be milder than in adults, meaning infection can easily be missed.
One of these research projects aims to determine the prevalence of infection of SARS-CoV-2 which causes COVID-19 in children and the role they play in the community transmission of the disease. PCH infectious disease specialists will work with PathWest and Clinipath to conduct the research, with testing to take place between June and December 2020 covering the peak winter season.
Using blood samples taken as part of routine testing, a selection of random samples will be tested to see whether antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 are present. If present, this will provide evidence that the child was previously infected with COVID-19, and data from this study will have implications for the management and delivery of paediatric health in Western Australia.
The second research project, undertaken with Telethon Kids Institute, will screen patients ahead of their ear, nose or throat surgery at PCH over a nine-month period, with an anticipated 300 children due to be screened. This research will complement the State Government's DETECT schools project which is currently scanning the WA school community for possible undetected COVID-19 cases.
在2020年7月5日星期日結束的一周中，衛生部報告了西澳大利亞州新型管狀肺炎的8例新病例和1例歷史病例，這是通過血清學檢測確定的。目前，該州的總數為618；共有600人從華盛頓州的新型管狀肺炎中恢復。
2020年7月5日（星期日）報告了6起案件，所有這些人目前正在酒店檢疫中返回海外旅客。四名男女兩名年齡在40-64歲之間的男子都是從迪拜起飛的航班上的乘客，該航班於2020年7月1日抵達珀斯，並在抵達後第二天接受西澳衛生局篩查後返回了陽性測試結果。衛生部正在採訪所有也在酒店隔離中的乘客，以確定機上是否有與新診斷病例的密切聯繫。
上週，向西澳新型管狀肺炎9診所就診的3,671人–評估了3,596人，並擦拭了3,476人。
在2020年6月30日星期二，宣布西澳大利亞州的現場音樂正式回歸，並宣佈到2020年7月18日（星期六）西澳州慶祝所有新型管狀肺炎取消的當天，將有多達4000名粉絲支持本地流行樂隊-19人限制。
在新型管狀肺炎大流行之後，將在HBF體育場舉行的WA Unlocked將是在西澳舉行的首場大型現場音樂盛會，這進一步證明了西澳對健康危機的出色管理。現場直播的恢復意味著成千上萬的西澳大利亞人將有報酬地從事多個行業，包括活動，餐飲，音樂，​​製作，運輸，零售和接待。
此外，州政府和雷克斯航空公司已經獲得了奧爾巴尼，埃斯佩蘭斯和卡那封的額外服務，同時也增加了獲得社區票價的優惠。奧爾巴尼和埃斯佩蘭斯的空中航線每週增加一倍，達到八班，而卡那封的空中航線將從每週三趟增加到五趟。
購買社區機票的條件將放寬，允許所有剩餘座位在出發前7天而不是24小時內以社區票價出售。出發前30天內仍可以購買社區票價。
單向社區票價的票價為：Albany奧爾巴尼139澳元，Esperance埃斯佩蘭斯138澳元，Monkey Mia猴子米婭158澳元和 Carnavon 卡那封199澳元，每個人都可以通過這種方式旅行。
由於新型管狀肺炎的影響，州政府已與英聯邦合作，承保Albany奧爾巴尼和Esperance埃斯佩蘭斯航線的每週四班服務以及Carnavon卡那封和Monkey Mia猴子米亞航線的每週三班回程服務。州政府與雷克斯（Rex）之間簽署的一項新契約已將這些航班的資助期限延長至2020年9月30日。隨著該州繼續從新型管狀肺炎中恢復，這些額外的航線和獲得社區機票的渠道將鼓勵需求並刺激當地經濟發展。 。
2020年7月1日（星期三）宣布，將為符合條件的地區美術館提供195,000澳元的救濟金，這些美術館由於新型管狀肺炎不得不取消展覽並關閉了大門。這筆資金將確保畫廊有足夠的能力舉辦未來的視覺藝術展覽和活動，這是區域展覽巡迴演出（RETB）的一部分。它將幫助恢復重建重要的社區藝術活動。
RETB是一項800萬澳元的選舉承諾，通過增加對地區城鎮和社區的巡迴展覽的數量，為西澳大利亞地區的人們提供了更多與視覺藝術互動的機會。 RETB由移動藝術（AOTM）和西澳州美術館提供，並由地方政府，體育和文化產業部管理。
2020年7月2日，星期四，西澳州衛生系統第二次員工敬業度調查的結果表明，員工敬業度有所提高，並且員工對他們的角色持積極態度，並堅定地致力於患者護理。儘管新型管狀肺炎大流行受到干擾，但這項於3月進行的調查顯示，就業敬業度指數為66％，高於去年的62％。
最新的調查結果可以在http://www.health.wa.gov.au/staffsurvey上找到。
衛生服務提供者正在審查調查結果，以確保在從現在到2021年3月的下一次調查之間需要改進的那些特定領域提供支持。
2020年7月3日，星期五，州政府修訂了1981年採礦法規，以支持受新型管狀肺炎大流行影響的利益相關者。根據修訂後的規定，如果物業權持有人能夠證明新型管狀肺炎已影響其滿足支出條件的能力，則可以申請免稅。
臨時修訂將提出異議的時間從35天減少到14天，所有豁免申請現在都將在線發布。提供明確的指導還應使申請人對其他信息的要求降至最低。
此外，珀斯兒童醫院（PCH）的研究人員已經啟動了兩個研究項目，以幫助更好地了解兒童中COVID-19的發生率和患病率。這些項目將測試未顯示症狀的兒童的新型管狀肺炎證據-鑑於兒童的症狀和疾病往往比成人輕，這意味著很容易錯過感染。
這些研究項目之一旨在確定在兒童中引起新型管狀肺炎的SARS-CoV-2感染的流行程度，以及它們在疾病的社區傳播中所扮演的角色。 PCH傳染病專家將與PathWest和Clinipath合作進行這項研究，測試將於2020年6月至2020年12月進行，涵蓋冬季的旺季。
使用作為常規測試一部分的血液樣本，將測試一些隨機樣本，以查看是否存在針對SARS-CoV-2的抗體。如果存在的話，這將提供證據證明該孩子先前曾感染過新型管狀肺炎，該研究的數據將對西澳大利亞州的兒科健康管理和分娩產生影響。
由Telethon Kids Institute進行的第二個研究項目將在9個月的時間內在PCH進行耳，鼻或喉嚨手術之前對患者進行篩查，預計將篩查300名兒童。這項研究將補充州政府的DETECT學校項目，該項目目前正在對西澳學校社區進行掃描，以尋找可能未發現的新型管狀肺炎病例。

The Department of Health has reported no new cases of COVID-19 in Western Australia overnight. The State’s total stands at 607.
There are four active cases in WA – all are in hotel quarantine. A total of 594 people have now recovered from COVID-19 in WA.

In addition, the State Government will introduce a Bill to ease the burden on health care workers who contract COVID-19 and require access to workers' compensation entitlements.
Many essential health care workers are working in difficult circumstances and are at a higher risk of exposure to contracting COVID-19. The Workers' Compensation and Injury Management Act 1981 will be amended to establish a presumption of work-related injury for specified diseases suffered in specified classes of employment.
Regulations will address health care workers suffering COVID-19 as a priority, this means workers will not be required to go through lengthy and costly claim investigations to prove they contracted COVID-19 at work.
The Bill will also facilitate electronic service of some documents and remove the arbitrary 'termination day' that constrains a worker's ability to pursue common law damages.
衛生部昨晚報告西澳大利亞州未有新的新型管狀肺炎病例。該州的總數為607。
西澳州有四個活躍案件–全部都在酒店隔離中。現在，共有594人從西澳州的新型管狀肺炎中康復。
昨天，有987人到了西澳洲新型管狀肺炎診所就診-評估937人，擦拭929人。迄今為止，在西澳已經進行了167,201次新型管狀肺炎測試。在接受測試的人中，有29,312人來自西澳州地區。
此外，州政府將出台一項法案，以減輕與新型管狀肺炎簽約並需要獲得工人補償金的醫護人員的負擔。
許多前綫的醫護人員在困難的環境中工作，並且更有可能感染新型管狀肺炎。政府將修訂《 1981年工人補償和傷害管理法》，以推定特定職業類別中特定疾病所致的與工作有關的傷害推定。
法規將優先解決患有新型管狀肺炎的醫護人員，這意味著將無需要求工人進行冗長且成本高昂的索賠調查，以證明他們在工作中感染了新型管狀肺炎。
該法案還將為某些文件的電子服務提供便利，並取消限制工人追究普通法損害賠償能力的任意“終止日”。

Western Australians must continue to keep up physical distancing where possible and good personal hygiene to better protect themselves and the general health of our community.
WA businesses will be expected to ensure their COVID Safety Plans are updated and continue to be implemented. COVID Safety plans help mitigate the risk of COVID-19, are in line with health advice and provide extra confidence to patrons and staff entering the business premises.
WA’s COVID-19 restrictions will be relaxed even further, as WA’s roadmap is updated to complete the removal of all restrictions. Due to the world-leading response to COVID in WA, Phase 4 will start on Saturday, 27 June 2020 (11.59pm Friday, 26 June 2020) and will result in:
  • All existing gathering limits and the 100/300 rule removed
  • Gathering limits now only determined by WA’s reduced 2sqm rule
  • The 2sqm rule will only include staff at venues that hold more than 500 patrons
  • Removal of seated service requirements at food businesses and licensed premises
  • No requirement to maintain patron register at food businesses and licensed premises
  • Alcohol can be served as part of unseated service arrangements
  • All events permitted except for large scale, multi-stage music festivals
  • Unseated performances permitted at venues such as concert halls, live music venues, bars, pubs and nightclubs
  • Gyms operating unstaffed, but regular cleaning must be maintained
  • The casino gaming floor reopening under agreed temporary restrictions.

For details on the current restrictions in-place, please visit the WA-Related Precautions page.
Depending on infection rates locally, Phase 5 is planned to be introduced on Saturday, 18 July 2020 (effective from 11.59pm Friday, 17 July 2020) and will result in the removal of the 2sqm rule. It is also expected to see the removal of all gathering restrictions, other COVID-related rules introduced by the State Government and the 50 per cent capacity limit for major venues.
Phase 6 was going to include the removal of WA's hard border with the rest of the country and travel restrictions currently in place for remote Aboriginal communities. A tentative date for the removal of WA's hard border was planned to be included as part of Phase 6, however this was put on hold due to the rapidly evolving situation in Victoria.
When an indicative date is set in the future, it will be contingent on locally acquired infection rates in the Eastern States. The WA hard border will only be removed when the WA Chief Health Officer is confident the spread of infection is controlled in the Eastern States.

西澳大利亚人必须继续保持身体疏远，并保持良好的个人卫生，以更好地保护自己和我们社区的整体健康。
西澳州的企业将有望确保其新型管狀肺炎安全计划得到更新并继续实施。 新型管狀肺炎安全计划有助于降低新型管狀肺炎的风险，符合健康建议并为进入营业场所的顾客和员工提供额外的信心。
随着西澳路线图的更新，以完成所有限制的删除，西澳的新型管狀肺炎限制将进一步放宽。由于对西澳州的新型管狀肺炎做出了世界领先的响应，因此第4阶段将于2020年6月27日星期六（2020年6月26日星期五晚上11.59pm）开始：
  • 删除所有现有的聚會限制和100/300规则
  • 现在，聚會限制仅有西澳州的2平方米规则
  • 2平方米规则仅包括拥有500名以上顾客的场馆
  • 取消食品企业和持牌场所的就座服务要求
  • 无需在食品企业和有执照的场所登记顾客
  • 酒精可作为非固定式服务安排的一部分
  • 允许进行所有活动，但大型，多阶段音乐节除外
  • 在音乐厅，现场音乐表演场地，酒吧，酒馆和夜总会等场所可以进行無座位现场表演
  • 健身房无人值守，但必须保持定期清洁
  • 赌场博彩场在商定的临时限制下重新开放。

有关当前就地限制的详细信息，请點閱西澳相关注意事项页面。
根据当地的感染率，第五阶段计划于2020年7月18日（星期六）开始实施（从2020年7月17日（星期五）晚上11:59起生效），并将取消2平方米的规定。预计还将取消所有聚会限制，州政府引入的其他与新型管狀肺炎相关的规则，以及主要场馆的50％容量限制。
第六阶段将包括消除西澳州与该国其他地区的硬边界，以及目前针对偏远原住民社区的旅行限制。计划将拆除西澳硬边界的暂定日期包括在第6阶段中，但是由于维多利亚州局势的迅速发展，这一日期被搁置了。
将来确定指示性日期时，将取决于东部州当地获得的感染率。只有在西澳州首席卫生官确信感染的蔓延在东部各州得到控制后，西澳的硬边界才会取消。

The Department of Health has reported one new active case of COVID-19 overnight, bringing the State's total to 605. The new case, a woman in her 20's, is related to overseas travel and she is in hotel quarantine.
There are currently three active cases in State and 593 people have recovered from the virus in WA.
Yesterday 346 people presented to WA COVID-19 clinics; of these 326 were assessed and 324 were swabbed as a result of the assessment. To date there have been 165,265 COVID-19 tests performed in WA. Of those tested, 28,515 were from regional WA.
New details of the METRONET Morley-Ellenbrook Line have been unveiled with today's release of the Project Definition Plan. More than 3,000 local jobs are expected to be created and supported across the life of the project and provide opportunities for local businesses. The METRONET projects and the associated pipeline of work will help support local jobs and WA’s COVID economic recovery.
The 21 kilometre rail line is the State's biggest public transport project since construction of the Mandurah Line, includes new stations at Ellenbrook, Whiteman Park, Malaga, Noranda and Morley and will connect the fast growing north-eastern corridor to a redeveloped Bayswater Station and then onto the city. The new stations will include parking for a total of about 3,300 cars, four bus interchanges, universal access, cycle facilities, toilets and shared paths connecting them to the surrounding networks.
The Perth CBD will be as close as 15 minutes when boarding at Morley and just 30 minutes from Ellenbrook - making it the quickest transport option available for nearby residents. Integration with the Midland Line will also give passengers improved access to other destinations on the rail network, including Perth Airport.
衛生部報告了一例新的新冠肺炎活躍病例，使該州的總數達到605個。該新病例為20多歲的女性，與海外旅行有關，她正在酒店檢疫。
西澳州目前有3例活躍病例，西澳州已有593人從該病毒中康復。
昨天有346人來到西澳新冠肺炎檢驗診所；評估的結果是對這326例中的324例進行了採檢。迄今為止，在西澳已經進行了165,265次新冠肺炎測試。在測試的人中，有28,515人來自西澳州地區。
METRONET Morley-Ellenbrook 交通線的新細節已在今天發布的Project Definition Plan中揭曉。在項目的整個週期中，預計將創造並支持超過3,000個本地工作機會，並為本地企業提供機會。 METRONET項目和相關的管線作業將幫助支持本地工作和西澳從新冠肺炎過後的經濟復甦。
自Mandurah線建設以來，這條21公里的鐵路線是該州最大的公共交通項目，包括在Ellenbrook，Whiteman　Park，Malaga，Noranda和Morley的新車站，並將快速發展的東北走廊連接到重建的Bayswater車站，然後進入城市。新的車站將包括總共約3,300輛汽車的停車位，四個公交換乘站，通用通道，自行車設施，廁所和將它們連接到周圍網絡的共享路徑。
在Morley上車時，珀斯中央商務區僅需15分鐘路程，而距離Ellenbrook僅30分鐘路程-這使其成為附近居民最快的交通方式。與Midland Line的整合也將使旅客能夠更好地進入鐵路網絡上的其他目的地，包括珀斯機場。

18 June 2020 (6月18日2020)

The Department of Health is reporting one new case of COVID-19 overnight, bringing the State’s total to 603. The new case relates to a person who returned from overseas travel and is in hotel quarantine.
There are currently two active cases in the State and 592 people have recovered from COVID-19 in WA.
Yesterday 807 people presented to COVID-19 clinics – 769 were assessed and 758 were swabbed. To date there have been 152,603 COVID-19 tests performed in WA. Of those tested, 26,672 were from regional WA.
The two-week COVID-19 testing blitz on people not showing symptoms across Western Australia has ended with no positive cases detected. The opportunity for people from identified groups to be tested for COVID-19 produced further evidence that there are no undetected cases COVID-19 in the community.
Between Thursday 28 May 2020 and Wednesday 10 June 2020, healthcare workers, WA Police staff, school staff, meat workers, and retail, hospitality, transport and tourism industry employees not displaying symptoms of COVID-19 were invited to undergo a swab test for the virus. As part of the program 18,409 people stepped forward for testing and all tested negative, with the breakdown of major cohorts as follows:
  • 11,192 health care workers (61%);
  • 2,197 school staff (12%);
  • 1,852 retail workers (10%);
  • 925 hospitality workers (5%); and
  • 875 meat workers (5%);

WA Police staff, transport workers and tourism industry workers accounted for under 5% each. The median age of people tested was 47 years, and 72% were female. Just over three quarters of participants reside in the metropolitan area.
The program was a major co-ordinated effort by public and private pathology providers PathWest, Australian Clinical Labs, Clinipath, and Western Diagnostic Pathology, to offer as many opportunities as possible within the two-week window. Testing was offered at more than 100 clinics, drive-through facilities, and pop-up clinics across the State, and on-site testing was facilitated at nearly 200 businesses.
Lastly, dormitory capacity restrictions have been lifted for public school residential boarding facilities and school camps. School camp operators can fill dormitories, but camps can only have a maximum of 100 people.
Today's announcement comes after the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPCC) revised its guidelines yesterday (17 June 2020) saying that each State or Territory education department could review the situation around these types of facilities in line with State health advice. However, the AHPCC said each facility would still be required to prepare a facility-specific, risk assessment plan which included their planned response to scenarios such as single or multiple cases being identified among boarders with multiple close contacts, to manage the risk posed by COVID-19.
The risk analysis should inform the development of mitigation actions that lower the risk of transmission and promote good health, hygiene and physical distancing within the facility.
For details on the current restrictions in-place at schools, please visit the WA-Related Precautions page.
衛生部在一夜之間報告了一起新的新型管狀肺炎病例，使該州的總數達到603。新病例涉及從海外旅行回國並在酒店隔離的人。
目前，該州有兩個活躍病例，從西澳州的新型管狀肺炎中恢復了592人。
昨天有807人到新型管狀肺炎診所就診-評估了769人，並擦拭了758人。迄今為止，在西澳州中已經進行了152,603個新型管狀肺炎測試。在測試的人中，有26,672人來自西澳州。
對西澳大利亞州未顯示症狀的人進行的為期兩週的新型管狀肺炎測試突擊行動已經結束，沒有發現陽性病例。來自確定群體的人群接受新型管狀肺炎檢測的機會進一步證明，社區中沒有未發現的新型管狀肺炎病例。
在2020年5月28日星期四至2020年6月10日星期三之間，邀請醫療工作者，西澳警察局工作人員，學校工作人員，肉類工作人員以及沒有顯示新型管狀肺炎症狀的零售，酒店，運輸和旅遊業從業人員進行拭子測試，以檢查是否出現新型管狀肺炎症狀。作為該計劃的一部分，有18,409人上前測試，所有測試均為陰性，主要人群如下：11,192名醫護人員（61％）;2,197名學校員工（12％）;1,852名零售工人（10％）;925名接待人員（5％）;和875名肉類工人（5％）；
西澳州警察，交通運輸和旅遊業的工人分別佔不到5％。受測人員的中位年齡為47歲，女性為72％。剛剛超過四分之三的參與者居住在大都市地區。
該計劃是公共和私人病理學提供者PathWest，Australian Clinical Labs，Clinipath和Western Diagnostic Pathology的主要協調工作，目的是在兩週的時間內提供盡可能多的機會。在全州的100多家診所，自動駕駛設施和彈出式診所中提供了測試，並為近200家企業提供了現場測試。
最後，公立學校寄宿設施和學校營地的宿舍容量限制已取消。學校營地營辦商可以填補宿舍，但營地最多只能容納100人。
今天的公告是在澳大利亞衛生保護主要委員會（AHPCC）昨天（2020年6月17日）修訂其指南之後說的，每個州或領地教育部門都可以根據州衛生建議對此類設施的狀況進行審查。但是，AHPCC表示，仍將要求每個機構準備針對特定機構的風險評估計劃，其中包括他們對情景的計劃響應，例如在具有多個密切聯繫人的寄宿生中確定單個或多個案例，以管理新型管狀肺炎帶來的風險。 風險分析應告知緩解措施的發展，這些措施可降低傳播風險並促進設施內的良好健康，衛生和身體疏遠。

17 June 2020 (6月17日2020)

The Department of Health is reporting no new cases of COVID-19 with the State’s total standing at 602.
Overnight there has been one recovery so Western Australia now has just one active COVID-19 case. To date, 592 people have recovered from COVID-19 in WA.
Yesterday 926 people presented to COVID-19 clinics – 882 were assessed and 876 were swabbed.
The State Government has delivered almost $6 million in financial support to 70 Western Australian community groups and local government authorities through the Lotterywest COVID-19 Relief Fund. Established in late March, $5,976,891 in grants have been provided to support crisis and emergency relief across the State.
The State Government, through Lotterywest, swiftly responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by reprioritising its community grants program to focus on creating the Relief Fund. The Fund supports not-for-profit organisations and local government authorities to help vulnerable Western Australians and those experiencing hardship during this unprecedented time.
衛生部報告沒有新的新冠肺炎病例，該州的總數為602。
一夜之間已經恢復了，所以西澳州現在只有一個活躍的新冠肺炎病例。迄今為止，已有592人從西澳州的新冠肺炎康復。
昨天，有926人到西澳新冠肺炎檢驗診所就診-評估了882人，並採檢了876人。
州政府已通過Lotterywest 新冠肺炎救濟基金向70個西澳州社區團體和地方政府提供了近600萬澳元的財政支持。該基金會成立於3月下旬，提供了5,976,891美元的贈款，以支持全州的危機和緊急救援。
州政府通過Lotterywest迅速響應了新冠肺炎大流行，將其社區補助金計劃重新定為優先事項，重點是設立救濟基金。該基金支持非營利組織和地方政府當局，以幫助弱勢的西澳大利亞人以及在這個空前的時期內遭受苦難的人。

16 June 2020 (6月16日2020)

The Department of Health is reporting no new cases of COVID-19 with the State’s total standing at 602.
WA has just two active COVID-19 cases. To date, 591 people have recovered from COVID-19 in WA.
Yesterday 1,082 people presented to COVID-19 clinics – 1,027 were assessed and 1,022 were swabbed. To date there have been 143,418 COVID-19 tests performed in WA – 25,300 from regional WA.
Most COVID-19 patients experience only mild-to-moderate symptoms but about 15% will develop severe respiratory disease, with some needing intensive medical management or even admission to an intensive care unit. At present, however, there is no way of telling which patients will become severely unwell. A new research project being led by Fiona Stanley Hospital could change this.
WA health researchers will determine whether performance at two simple exercises could help predict which COVID-19 patients are likely to develop severe disease. In addition to monitoring patients’ symptoms, the study will track their grip strength and counts of sitting to standing in a minute, during their time in hospital. Both exercises can be performed quickly and simply. The grip test is a sentinel measure of a person’s overall muscle strength, while the sit-to-stand assessment can be used to predict mortality in the elderly.
The study will seek to identify correlation between patients’ performance in these functional tests and other physiological markers such as heart rate, respiratory rate and blood oxygen levels. Initial testing will take place on patients’ admission to hospital, with follow up every other day to monitor for changes in functioning. The study will also track patients for one year to enhance understanding of long-term recovery from COVID-19.
If found to be effective in predicting disease severity, the exercises would give healthcare staff a simple, cheap and non-invasive means of knowing which patients required extra monitoring – and potentially more aggressive intervention. Information gathered from the tests would also be helpful in guiding the rehabilitation of patients who survived COVID-19 but were left with long-term physical impairment.
The study will be conducted by clinicians, academics and researchers from WA’s three tertiary hospital sites, the WA Country Health Service and multiple universities. Participants from the study will be drawn from patients already enrolled in a global, World Health Organisation-endorsed observational project known as ISARIC (International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection Consortium). WA Health is participating in ISARIC which is gathering data and blood samples from patients diagnosed with COVID-19.
衛生部報告沒有新的新型管狀肺炎病例，該州的總數為602。
西澳州只有兩個活躍的新型管狀肺炎案件。迄今為止，已有591人從西澳州的新型管狀肺炎中康復。
昨天，向新型管狀肺炎診所就診的1,082人–評估了1,027人，並擦拭了1,022人。迄今為止，在西澳大利亞州已進行了143,418次新型管狀肺炎測試-來自西澳州的25,300次。
大多數新型管狀肺炎患者僅出現輕度至中度症狀，但約15％的患者會發展為嚴重的呼吸系統疾病，有些患者需要加強醫療管理，甚至需要進入重症監護病房。但是，目前尚無法確定哪些患者會變得嚴重不適。由菲奧娜·斯坦利醫院（Fiona Stanley Hospital）領導的新研究項目可能會改變這一狀況。
西澳州衛生研究人員將確定兩次簡單的鍛煉是否可以幫助預測哪些新型管狀肺炎患者可能患上嚴重疾病。除了監視患者的症狀外，該研究還將跟踪他們在醫院期間的抓地力和在一分鐘內坐著站立的次數。兩種練習都可以快速簡單地執行。握力測試是一個人的整體肌肉力量的前哨量度，而從坐到站的評估可以用來預測老年人的死亡率。
該研究將尋求確定患者在這些功能測試中的表現與其他生理指標（例如心率，呼吸頻率和血氧水平）之間的相關性。最初的測試將在患者入院時進行，每隔一天進行一次隨訪以監測功能的變化。該研究還將追踪患者一年的時間，以增進對新型管狀肺炎長期康復的了解。
如果發現可以有效地預測疾病的嚴重程度，那麼這些練習將為醫護人員提供一種簡單，廉價且無創的方法，以了解哪些患者需要額外的監控-並可能採取更積極的干預措施。從測試中收​​集到的信息也將有助於指導那些在新型管狀肺炎中倖存但長期遭受身體損傷的患者的康復。
這項研究將由西澳州三個三級醫院，西澳州鄉村醫療服務局和多所大學的臨床醫生，學者和研究人員進行。這項研究的參與者將從已經參加世界衛生組織認可的全球觀察項目ISARIC（國際嚴重急性呼吸道和新興感染聯合會）的患者中招募。 WA Health參加了ISARIC，該中心從診斷為新型管狀肺炎的患者那裡收集數據和血液樣本。

15 June 2020 (6月15日2020)

The Department of Health is reporting no new cases of COVID-19 with the State’s total standing at 602.
WA has just two active COVID-19 cases, with nine people cleared of the virus overnight – including the remaining six crew from the Al Kuwait livestock carrier. To date, 591 people have recovered from COVID-19 in WA.
Yesterday 508 people presented to COVID-19 clinics – 490 were assessed and 484 were swabbed. To date there have been 143,418 COVID-19 tests performed in WA. Of those tested, 25,300 were from regional WA.
Less than three months after non-urgent elective surgery was suspended to enable our health system to prepare for the impact of COVID-19, activity is back to 100% of the historical average. Non-urgent Category 2 and all Category 3 procedures were suspended from 23 March 2020 to preserve stocks of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and ensure beds were available for patients with COVID-19. Activity has progressively ramped back up from 28 April 2020 and today marks the return to full capacity.
Approximately 3,550 Western Australians will undergo an elective surgery or procedure this week. This milestone is a significant achievement in WA's return to the new normal from COVID-19 and a testament to the great work of WA Health and health service providers in responding to the pandemic, and securing supplies of critical PPE.
衛生部報告沒有新的新冠肺炎病例，該州的總數為602。
西澳州只有兩個活躍的新冠肺炎病例，一夜之間有9人清除了該病毒-包括來自科威特Al Al Kuwait畜牧業者的其餘6名工作人員。迄今為止，已有591人從西澳州的新冠肺炎中康復。
昨天有508人到西澳新冠肺炎檢驗診所就診-評估了490人，並採檢了484人。迄今為止，在西澳州已經進行了143,418次新冠肺炎測試。在測試的人中，有25,300人來自西澳大利亞州地區。
為了使我們的衛生系統為應對新冠肺炎的影響做好準備，非緊急的選擇性外科手術暫停了不到三個月，活動恢復到了歷史平均水平的100％。從2020年3月23日起，暫停執行非緊急的第2類和所有第3類程序，以保存個人防護設備（PPE）的庫存，並確保為新冠肺炎的患者提供病床。從2020年4月28日起，活動逐漸恢復，今天標誌著已恢復到滿負荷運行。
本週約有3,550名西澳大利亞人將接受擇期手術或程序。這個里程碑是西澳從新冠肺炎重返新常態的重要成就，也證明了西澳衛生部和衛生服務提供商在應對大流行和確保關鍵個人防護裝備供應方面所做的出色工作。

The Western Australian Government is bringing forward $4.65 million in infrastructure funding to help State Sporting Associations (SSAs) maintain their assets such as grounds and buildings.
The State Government normally allocates $2 million a year under the State Sporting Infrastructure Fund. By switching to a triennium (three-year) funding model and bringing forward funding, SSAs will be able to meet their current facility operating costs, ensure their buildings and grounds are ready as COVID-19 restrictions ease, and undertake larger maintenance and capital works projects identified in asset maintenance plans.
The funding is being provided to SSAs that operate venues capable of hosting state and national level sporting competition as identified in the State Sporting Infrastructure Plan. The funding will be for works such as:
  • maintaining an asset in ready for service condition;
  • routine maintenance and minor works in accordance with an asset maintenance plan;
  • capital projects; and
  • energy and water efficiency initiatives.

衛生部昨晚沒有報告新的新型管狀肺炎病例，該州的總病例數仍為602。

西澳州政府將提供465萬澳元的基礎設施資金，以幫助州體育協會（SSA）維護場地和建築物等資產。
州政府通常每年在州體育基礎設施基金下撥款200萬澳元。通過轉換為三年期的資助模式並提前籌集資金，SSA將能夠滿足其當前的設施運營成本，隨著新型管狀肺炎限制的緩解，確保其建築物和地面準備就緒，並進行更大的維護和基本工程資產維護計劃中確定的項目。
資金將提供給SSA，這些SSA運營能夠舉辦州體育基礎設施計劃中確定的州和國家級體育競賽的場館。資金將用於以下工作：
  • 使資產處於準備就緒的狀態；
  • 根據資產維護計劃進行例行維護和小型工程；
  • 基本建設項目；和
  • 能源和水效率倡議。

10 June 2020 (6月10日2020)

The Department of Health has reported no new active cases of COVID-19 overnight. However, the State’s total now stands at 601 after two historical cases were identified through serology testing. The two historic cases, confirmed by serology testing, relate to a person who had returned from overseas travel and a cruise ship passenger. There are currently 28 active cases in WA – seven are Western Australians, one is from interstate and 20 are crew members from the livestock carrier, the Al Kuwait.
To date, 564 people have recovered from the virus in WA. Yesterday 1,121 people presented to WA COVID-19 clinics – 1,054 were assessed and 1,033 were swabbed. In addition, 1,391 asymptomatic people were tested yesterday through the DETECT Snapshot program. To date there have been 126,700 COVID-19 tests performed in WA. Of those tested, 22,129 were from regional WA.
In addition, more than 30 university-led COVID-19 projects will share in State Government funding to undertake or boost their COVID-19 research that contributes to protecting Western Australians.
Examples of the projects include the development of new drugs, research into the effects of COVID-19 on mental health, projects to upskill the health workforce and projects to support the resilience of businesses through the economic recovery.
One of the projects funded by the State Government is the COVID-19 International Systems Medicine Project by Murdoch University's Australian National Phenome Centre. This project has received $400,000 towards developing a test to determine people's susceptibility to the disease and the severity of an individual's response to it. This knowledge will allow health care experts to also identify which individuals will respond well to a given drug treatment and what the long-term consequences of infection are. This is crucial knowledge for the development of effective treatments, including vaccines, and presents a major step towards effective clinical management of COVID-19. The Centre is working with international collaborators from leading global research hospitals, including Cambridge University's highly respected Addenbrooke's Hospital.
衛生部報告過夜沒有新的新型管狀肺炎活躍病例。但是，在通過血清學檢測鑑定出兩個歷史病例之後，該州的總數現在為601。經血清學檢測證實的兩個歷史案例涉及一個從海外旅行回來的人和一個遊輪乘客。西澳州目前有28例活躍病例，其中7例是西澳大利亞人，1例來自州際，20例是畜牧業者Al Kuwait的船員。
迄今為止，西澳州已有564人從該病毒中恢復過來。昨天，有1121人到了西澳新型管狀肺炎診所就診-評估了1,054人，並擦拭了1,033人。此外，昨天通過DETECT Snapshot程序對1,391名無症狀人員進行了測試。迄今為止，在西澳已經進行了126,700次新型管狀肺炎測試。在測試的人中，有22,129人來自西澳州地區。
此外，由大學主導的30多個新型管狀肺炎項目將分享州政府的資金，以開展或促進其新型管狀肺炎研究，從而為保護西澳大利亞人做出貢獻。
 這些項目的示例包括開發新藥，研究新型管狀肺炎對精神健康的影響，提高衛生人力技能的項目以及通過經濟復甦來支持企業恢復能力的項目。
州政府資助的項目之一是默多克大學澳大利亞國家現像中心的新型管狀肺炎國際系統醫學項目。該項目已獲得40萬美元，用於開發一種測試，以確定人們對這種疾病的敏感性以及個人對這種疾病的反應的嚴重程度。這些知識將使醫療保健專家還可以確定哪些人將對給定的藥物治療產生良好的反應以及感染的長期後果是什麼。這是開發包括疫苗在內的有效治療方法的關鍵知識，是朝有效臨床管理新型管狀肺炎邁出的重要一步。該中心正在與來自全球領先研究醫院的國際合作者合作，其中包括劍橋大學備受尊敬的阿登布魯克醫院。

8 June 2020 (6月8日2020)

The Department of Health has reported zero new cases of COVID-19 overnight, with the State total remaining at 599.
There are currently 31 active cases in WA – 10 are Western Australians, one is from interstate and 20 are crew members from the livestock carrier, Al Kuwait. To date, 559 people have recovered from the virus in WA.
Yesterday 621 people presented to WA COVID-19 clinics – 584 were assessed and 579 were swabbed. In addition, 281 asymptomatic people were tested yesterday through the DETECT Snapshot program. To date there have been 118,497 COVID-19 tests performed in WA. Of those tested, 20,845 were from regional WA.
The Education and Training Minister has announced the details of the Phase 3 operating arrangements for Western Australian public schools which come into effect today.
As part of the Phase 3 operating guidelines, restrictions have been lifted to allow parents, carers and visitors inside schools for meetings and to drop off and pick up students, subject to physical distancing and hygiene measures.
Events and activities such as assemblies, excursions, interschool activities, school choirs and examinations can now resume providing schools abide by a limit of 100 people in indoor settings and 300 people in outdoor areas. Sports training, games and interschool competitions will now also recommence with schools following the same guidelines as the community for the number of people per indoor and outdoor space. Students in secondary years are also able to get back to their work placements as long as schools make sure the employers are complying with WA COVID-19 Health Guidelines.
It is expected that schools continue to follow good personal hygiene practices and additional cleaning regimes. High frequency cleaning will continue throughout the school day at all WA public schools. As per the WA COVID-19 Roadmap, all school activities will be reviewed again in preparation for Phase 4.
For details on the current restrictions in-place at schools, please visit the WA-Related Precautions page.
Western Australia has achieved amazing results to date with limiting the spread of COVID-19 within the community, and this is greatly in part to the people of Western Australia following the guidelines and restrictions.
However, people should not become complacent. The threat of COVID-19 to Western Australia and indeed the world remains real and current. We are continuing to see cases come in from overseas travellers in quarantine, and it will only take just one case within the community to start an outbreak.
The most important protection for all of us, as we return to more normal activities, is for each Western Australian to show personal responsibility and always practise our new ways of interacting and hygiene. We must all practise physical distancing of 1.5 metres. We must be fastidious with hand and cough hygiene at home, at work and when out in the community. We must all remember to stay home and get tested for COVID-19 if we have even mild cold or flu-like symptoms.
One of the main methods to contain COVID-19 is the early identification of positive cases, and the ability to quickly contact trace and quarantine close contacts. Contact tracing is made much more difficult in situations where close contacts cannot be identified and followed up.
Every Western Australian must play their part in keeping our state in its currently enviable place.
衛生部報告一夜之間新出現零例新型管狀肺炎病例，該州總數仍為599。
西澳州目前有31個活躍病例，其中10個是西澳州人，一個來自州際，另外20個是牲畜運輸船Al Kuwait的船員。迄今為止，西澳州已有559人從該病毒中恢復過來。昨天有621人到西澳新型管狀肺炎診所就診-評估584人，擦拭579人。此外，昨天通過DETECT Snapshot程序對281名無症狀者進行了測試。迄今為止，在西澳已經進行了118,497個西奧新型管狀肺炎測試。在測試的人中，有20845人來自西澳州地區。
教育和培訓部長宣布了西澳州公立學校第三階段運營安排的細節，該安排將於今天生效。
作為第3階段操作指南的一部分，取消了限制，允許家長，看護者和訪客在學校內開會，並允許他們離開學校並接送學生，但要遵守疏散身體和採取衛生措施。現在可以恢復活動和活動，例如集會，短途旅行，校際活動，學校合唱團和考試等，使學校在室內環境下可容納100人，在室外區域可容納300人。現在，體育培訓，遊戲和校際比賽也將重新開始，學校將按照與社區有關的每個室內和室外空間人數的相同準則進行訓練。只要學校確保雇主遵守新型管狀肺炎健康指南，高中階段的學生還可以回到工作實習崗位。
預計學校將繼續遵循良好的個人衛生習慣和其他清潔制度。西澳州所有公立學校在整個教學日將繼續進行高頻清潔。根據西澳路線圖，將再次審查所有學校活動，為第4階段做準備。
有關學校現行限制的詳細信息，請訪問西澳州相關注意事項頁面。
迄今為止，通過限制新型管狀肺炎在社區內的傳播，西澳大利亞州已取得了驚人的成績，這在很大程度上遵循了指導原則和限制，對西澳大利亞州的人們來說是很大的一部分。
但是，人們不應自滿。 新型管狀肺炎對西澳大利亞乃至整個世界的威脅仍然是現實和當前的。我們仍在繼續看到來自海外旅客的隔離檢疫病例，而社區內僅需一例就能爆發疫情。
當我們回到更正常的活動時，對我們所有人來說，最重要的保護就是讓每個西澳州人表現出個人責任感，並始終練習我們新的互動方式和衛生習慣。我們所有人都必須保持1.5米的身體距離。我們必須在家中，工作中以及在社區外出手時保持手部和咳嗽衛生。如果我們有輕微的感冒或類似流感的症狀，我們都必須記住留在家裡接受新型管狀肺炎測試。
包含新型管狀肺炎的主要方法之一是及早發現陽性病例，並具有快速聯繫痕跡和隔離近親的能力。在無法識別和跟踪密切聯繫人的情況下，聯繫人跟踪變得更加困難。
每個西澳大利亞人都必須髮揮自己的作用，將我們的州保持在目前令人羨慕的位置。

7 June 2020 (6月7日2020)

The Department of Health has reported zero new cases of COVID-19 overnight. The State’s total therefore remains at 599.
There are currently 31 active cases in WA. Of the active cases, 10 are Western Australians, one is from interstate and twenty are crew members from Al Kuwait. To date, 559 people have recovered from the virus in WA.
Yesterday 606 people presented to WA COVID-19 clinics; of these 567 were assessed and 562 were swabbed as a result of the assessment. In addition, 1,109 asymptomatic people were tested yesterday through the DETECT Snapshot program. To date there have been 115,507 COVID-19 tests performed in WA. Of those tested, 20,193 were from regional WA.
The State Government has announced a $444 million housing stimulus package to deliver a major boost to Western Australia's COVID-19 economic recovery, and support the building and construction sectors.
The comprehensive housing package will provide incentives for Western Australians to build new homes and deliver more social and affordable housing options for Western Australians. The housing stimulus package will deliver:
  • $117 million for $20,000 Building Bonus grants provided to homebuyers who sign up before December 31, 2020 to build new houses or purchase a new property in a single tier development (such as a townhouse) prior to construction finishing, creating 2,600 jobs;
  • $8.2 million to expand the 75 per cent off-the-plan transfer duty rebate, capped at $25,000, until December 31, 2020 to include purchases in multi-tiered developments already under construction;
  • $97 million to construct social housing dwellings and purchase off-the-plan units for supported housing programs;
  • $142 million to refurbish 1,500 existing social housing dwellings; and
  • $80 million for targeted maintenance programs for 3,800 regional social housing properties - including remote Aboriginal communities' stock and subsidised housing for regional government workers.

The plan is scheduled for immediate rollout, and will run into 2020-21, providing tradespeople and building material suppliers with additional certainty about an ongoing pipeline of work. The package includes an $80 million investment to fast-track a regional maintenance program, supporting workers and small businesses in regional WA. As part of the plan, $97 million is allocated to build or buy approximately 250 dwellings comprising of new social housing builds and off-the-plan purchases ready for immediate construction, aiming to accelerate the start of building construction-ready projects. Off-the-plan pre-sales opportunities will be acquired through a time limited Call for Submissions process issued by the Department of Communities and expected to open in mid-June. The package is the latest in a string of initiatives to support the housing industry since the McGowan Government came to power in March 2017, including:
  • $150 million Housing Investment Package to build more than 500 new social or affordable homes and refurbish 70 public housing properties;
  • $394 million METRONET Social and Affordable Housing and Jobs Package;
  • $29 million for a 75 per cent transfer duty rebate of up to $50,000 for buyers who sign pre-construction contracts to purchase a new residential unit or apartment in a multi-tiered development;
  • extension of income eligibility limits for borrowers accessing the State Government's low-deposit Keystart program; and
  • extension of Keystart's lending capacity (loan book) by $921 million to $4.8 billion since 2017.

Since 2017, the State Government has invested more than $1.6 billion in specific economic measures to support the housing sector.In addition, the State Government has announced a $125 million Building Bonus package to ramp up activity in the residential building sector, stimulate the economy and support around 2,600 local jobs.
  • $117 million committed for $20,000 grants to homebuyers who build new houses or purchase a new property in a single-tier development prior to construction finishing
  • New grant builds on the Federal Government's HomeBuilder scheme, giving some Western Australian homebuilders access to up to $45,000
  • The $10,000 First Home Owner Grant and stamp duty concessions still apply, meaning some WA first homebuyers could qualify for up to a $69,440 benefit
  • $8.2 million allocated to expand the existing 75 per cent off-the-plan transfer duty rebate, up to $25,000, to purchases in multi-tiered developments under construction
  • $2.3 billion in stimulus and relief measures invested in response to COVID-19

The Building Bonus grants are open from 4 June 2020 until 31 December 2020 to any homebuyer who wishes to build a new house or purchase a new property in a single-tier development (such as a townhouse) prior to completion of construction. The State Government's scheme is not means tested and has no cap on the property value.

衛生部一夜之間報告了沒有新的新冠肺炎病例。因此，該州的總數仍為599。
西澳州目前有31個活躍案件。在活躍的案件中，有10名是西澳大利亞人，一名是來自州際，二十名是來自科威特的船員。迄今為止，西澳州已有559人從該病毒中恢復過來。
昨天有606人出席了西澳新冠肺炎檢驗診所；評估了這567個中的562個，採檢了562個。此外，昨天通過DETECT Snapshot程序對1109名無症狀人員進行了測試。迄今為止，在西澳已經進行了115507次新冠肺炎測試。在這些測試中，有20,193來自西澳大利亞州地區。
州政府宣布了一項4.44億澳元的住房刺激計劃，以大力推動西澳大利亞州新冠肺炎經濟的復甦，並為建築業提供支持。
全面的住房計劃將激勵西澳大利亞人建造新房屋，並為西澳大利亞人提供更多的社會和負擔得起的住房選擇。住房刺激計劃將提供：
  • 為購房者提供兩萬元的建築贈款，來自1.17億的贈款，這些購房者在2020年12月31日之前註冊以在建造完成之前在單層開發中（例如聯排別墅）建造新房屋或購買新物業，創造2600個工作崗位;
  • 820萬澳元用於擴大75％的計劃外轉讓稅返還，上限為25,000美元，直至2020年12月31日，其中包括已在建設中的多層開發項目的購買;
  • 9700萬元用於建造社會住房，併購買支持住房計劃的計劃外住房；
  • 1.42億元用於翻新1,500座現有的社會住房；和
  • 8000萬元用於3800個區域社會住房資產的目標維護計劃，包括偏遠的原住民社區的存貨和區域政府工作人員的補貼住房。

該計劃計劃立即推出，並將持續到2020-21年，為貿易商和建築材料供應商提供了更多有關正在進行的工作管道的確定性。該計劃包括8000萬美元的投資，以快速實施區域維護計劃，為西澳大利亞州的工人和小型企業提供支持。
作為該計劃的一部分，撥款9700萬元用於建造或購買約250套住房，其中包括新的社會住房建築和可供立即施工的計劃外購買，目的是加快建築就緒項目的啟動。計劃外的預售機會將通過社區部發布的限時徵集活動獲得，預計將於6月中旬開放。該計劃是自麥克高恩政府於2017年3月上台以來一系列支持住房業的最新舉措，其中包括：
  • 1.5億元的住房投資計劃，用於建造500多個新的社會或負擔得起的房屋並翻新70個公共住房；
  • 3.94億元的METRONET社會和經濟適用住房和工作包；
  • 2900萬澳元，用於為簽訂多層建築中新購置住宅或公寓的購房者簽訂建築前合同的買家提供75％的轉讓稅返還，最高可達5萬澳元；
  • 擴大借款人獲得州政府低存款Keystart計劃的收入資格限制；和
  • 自2017年以來，將Keystart的借貸能力（貸款簿）擴大了9.21億元，至48億元。

自2017年以來，州政府已在特定經濟措施上投入了超過16億元，以支持住房部門。
此外，州政府宣布了一項1.25億澳元的建築獎金計劃，以擴大住宅建築行業的活動，刺激經濟並支持約2600個當地就業機會。
  • 承諾1.17億澳元，用於向購房者提供20,000美元的贈款，這些購房者在建造完成之前在單層開發中建造新房屋或購買新物業。
  • 新的贈款以聯邦政府的HomeBuilder計劃為基礎，使一些西澳大利亞州的房屋建築商可獲得高達$ 45,000的資金。
  • 10,000元的首次購房者補助金和印花稅減免仍然適用，這意味著西澳一些首次購房者可能有資格獲得最高69,440美元的福利。
  • 分配820萬元，將現有75％的計劃外轉讓稅返還額擴大至25,000澳元，用於在建多層開發項目的購買
  • 投入了23億美元的刺激和救濟措施

建築獎金贈款從2020年6月4日至2020年12月31日開放給希望在建造完成之前在單層開發中（例如聯排別墅）建造新房屋或購買新物業的購房者。州政府的計劃未經經濟審查，並且對財產價值沒有上限。

6 June 2020 (6月6日2020)

The Department of Health has reported one new active case of COVID-19 overnight, as well as two historic cases, bringing the State’s total to 599. The new case is related to overseas travel and is in hotel quarantine. The two historic cases, confirmed by serology testing, were a couple who had returned from overseas travel in March and completed their quarantine.
There are currently 31 active cases in WA. Of the active cases, 10 are Western Australians, one is from interstate and twenty are crew members from Al Kuwait. To date, 559 people have recovered from the virus in WA.
Yesterday 871 people presented to WA COVID-19 clinics; of these 823 were assessed and 815 were swabbed as a result of the assessment. In addition, 1,745 asymptomatic people were tested yesterday through the DETECT Snapshot program. To date there have been 112,110 COVID-19 tests performed in WA. Of those tested, 19,459 were from regional WA.
Loved WA destination, Rottnest Island, welcomes back visitors after COVID-19 shutdown. Island reopens as part of wider easing of restrictions in Phase 3 of WA roadmap. Rottnest has been utilised as part of the State Government's COVID-19 response, with the last group of 200 people who underwent quarantine on the island departing on 13 May 2020.
Rottnest Island Authority and the island's business community have since been preparing for visitors' return in accordance with COVID-19 requirements. This has included the development of COVID-19 Safety Plans and the installation of signage and hand sanitiser stations on the island. In the week since the reopening was confirmed, Rottnest Island Authority has taken over 1,800 bookings - with even more expected to visit the island as day-trippers or in other accommodation.
Rottnest Island has enjoyed record-breaking visitation in recent years - with over three quarters of a million people visiting the destination in 2018-19.
Phase 3 came into effect today (or 11.59pm Friday, 5 June 2020). For details on the current restrictions in-place, please visit the WA-Related Precautions page.
衛生部報告了一例新的新冠肺炎活躍病例，以及2例歷史悠久的病例，使該州的總數達到599例。該新病例與海外旅行有關，正在酒店檢疫中。經血清學檢查證實的兩個歷史病例是一對夫婦，他們於三月從海外旅行返回並完成了檢疫。
西澳州目前有31個活躍案件。在活躍的案件中，有10名是西澳大利亞人，一名是來自州際，二十名是來自科威特的船員。迄今為止，西澳州已有559人從該病毒中恢復過來。
昨天，有871人來到西澳檢驗診所；評估的結果是這823個中的815個被採檢。此外，昨天通過DETECT Snapshot程序對1,745名無症狀人員進行了測試。迄今為止，在西澳已經進行了112,110個新冠肺炎測試。在接受測試的人中，有19,459人來自西澳州地區。
最受歡迎的西澳旅遊勝地，羅特尼斯島（Rottnest Island），在新冠肺炎關閉後歡迎回來的遊客。作為西澳路線圖第三階段更大範圍放鬆限制的一部分，該島重新開放。羅特尼斯島已被用作州政府對新冠肺炎的回應的一部分，該島上進行隔離的最後200人於2020年5月13日離開。
此後，羅特尼斯島管理局（Rottnest Island Authority）和該島的商界一直在按照新冠肺炎要求為遊客的回國做準備。這包括制定新冠肺炎安全計劃以及在島上安裝標牌和手動消毒站。在重新開放確認後的一周內，羅特尼斯島管理局（Rottnest Island Authority）預訂了1800多次-預計將以一日遊或其他住宿方式訪問該島。
羅特尼斯島近年來的訪問量創歷史新高-2018-19年度有四分之三的百萬人訪問該目的地。
第三階段於今天（或2020年6月5日，星期五，晚上11.59）生效。有關當前就地限制的詳細信息，請訪問西澳相關注意事項頁面。

5 June 2020 (6月5日2020)

The Department of Health has reported four new active cases of COVID-19 overnight, bringing the State’s total to 596. The four new cases are all related to overseas travel and are in hotel quarantine.
There are currently 30 active cases in WA. Of the active cases, nine are Western Australians, one is from interstate and twenty are crew members from Al Kuwait. To date, 557 people have recovered from the virus in WA.
Yesterday 1,126 people presented to WA COVID-19 clinics; of these 1,028 were assessed and 1,017 were swabbed as a result of the assessment. In addition, 1,612 asymptomatic people were tested yesterday through the DETECT Snapshot program. To date there have been 107,811 COVID-19 tests performed in WA. Of those tested, 18,566 were from regional WA.
The State Government has welcomed another freight aircraft of critical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in Perth, further strengthening our ability to protect frontline staff in the COVID-19 response. The latest delivery is on top of PPE supplies received in the past fortnight. Deliveries over the past two weeks include:
  • 275,000 isolation gowns;
  • 35,000 surgical packs;
  • 3.5 million gloves; and
  • one million packs of disinfectant wipes.

The State Government has increased its purchasing of PPE since COVID-19. This latest delivery is in addition to more than $9 million worth of PPE delivered direct via aircrafts to the Western Australian Department of Health. The equipment will help to meet current demand, prepare for any increase in COVID-19 positive patients and accommodate plans for hospitals to be back at full elective surgery activity by 15 June 2020.
The PPE will be prioritised for Western Australia's public hospitals, however, there may be potential to also provide stock to other agencies and community services as part of the broader State Government response.
In addition, local governments are encouraged to fast-track community infrastructure projects to help support small businesses and local jobs during Western Australia's economic recovery from COVID-19. The Western Australian Planning Commission is inviting governments to apply to use cash contributions collected from developers to undertake improvement works on open space, community facilities and infrastructure.
Under the State's planning framework, developers progressing a subdivision can be granted permission to provide cash payments to local governments for reinvestment in public open spaces, in lieu of setting aside land in a subdivision. As the State responds to the impacts of COVID-19, greater flexibility will be provided to local councils to reinvest these funds to help kick-start local economies.Community-enriching projects funded via this program in the past have included sporting facility upgrades, nature-based playgrounds, skate parks and recreation centre improvements. Opportunities to refurbish or replace ageing community infrastructure in those areas such as toilet blocks, shade structures, barbecues, cycle paths and footpaths will also be considered.
Also, candidates who had their Practical Driving Assessments (PDA) cancelled due to COVID-19 will have all been contacted by the end of this week, with the Department of Transport (DoT) making more than 10,600 phone calls - meaning the PDA online booking system will become available to customers today (5 June 2020), almost three weeks earlier than anticipated.
The DoT has now attempted to contact all candidates who had their PDA cancelled, giving them priority booking, with many of them having already completed their rebooked PDA. With DoT now having made multiple attempts to contact each of the cancelled candidates, the online PDA booking system, accessible through DoTDirect, will become available from midday today to anyone wishing to undertake a PDA. To help cater for the additional demand, DoT has recruited and trained an additional 35 driver assessors and will temporarily reopen its Welshpool Licensing Centre in late June - which will be a PDA only centre operating seven days a week with extended opening hours.
Visit http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/covid-19 for the latest information on PDAs.
More than 3,000 apprentices and trainees will be able to access free training thanks to the State Government's latest initiative to safeguard Western Australia's future workforce. Training costs will be covered for apprentices and trainees who have had their contracts cancelled or suspended to continue their training 'off the job' for up to six months.
More than half of the apprentices and trainees impacted so far are in hospitality, tourism, wholesale and retail services, personal services, finance, property and business services, and building and construction. Fees will be paid by the Department of Training and Workforce Development directly to training providers. Providers will be able to access these payments from 1 July 2020.
Eligible apprentices and trainees displaced between March 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020 will be entitled to fee relief. There will be no course and resource fees for any units commenced by these apprentices and trainees for up to six months. Fee relief will continue to apply if the apprentice or trainee is subsequently picked up by another employer.
This support will make apprentices and trainees more employable in the recovery and is just one of the measures implemented by the State Government to keep WA's pipeline of skilled workers on track during COVID-19. Employers will also benefit from a more flexible approach to training apprentices and trainees during the COVID-19 recovery period, given that it may be difficult to meet some requirements while restrictions are in place.
For more information, including the full list of financial support available to employers, apprentices and trainees, visit https://www.jobsandskills.wa.gov.au/covid19 or call the Apprenticeship Office Helpline on 13 19 54.
Lastly, the Perth Zoo will reopen to the public tomorrow, following its March closure due to COVID-19. As an expansive outdoor environment, there is no capacity limit for the Zoo, however, multiple measures are in place to ensure visitors remain happy and healthy.
Visitors will need an online reservation and pre-purchased ticket which will ensure there is no cash handling at the Zoo entry and enable a mechanism for contact tracing by health authorities if required.
In preparation for the return of guests, the Zoo has:
  • laid physical distancing 'paw prints' in various areas,
  • installed multiple hygiene stations throughout the Zoo grounds,
  • implemented one-way traffic flow in some areas,
  • temporarily cancelled keeper talks but created virtual keeper presentations which can be watched on guests' personal devices,
  • temporarily closed indoor exhibits including the Nocturnal House and Australian Reptile encounter; and
  • completed mandatory COVID safe training.

Whilst the Zoo has been closed there has been a baby boom, so there is more to see than ever before. This includes a Javan Gibbon baby, two squirrel monkey babies, otter pups, emperor tamarin infants and more than 50 western swamp tortoise hatchlings. The koala and tree kangaroo joeys are now sticking their heads out of their mother's pouches ready for their first look at Zoo visitors this Saturday.
More details regarding the reopening of Perth Zoo can be found at http://www.perthzoo.com.au
衛生部報告了4例新的新冠肺炎活躍病例，使該州總數達到596例。這4例新病例均與出國旅行有關，並且都在酒店檢疫中。
西澳州目前有30個活躍案件。在活躍的案件中，有九名是西澳大利亞人，一名是來自州際公路，二十名是來自科威特的船員。迄今為止，已有557人從西澳州的病毒中康復過來。
昨天，有1,126人到了西澳新冠肺炎檢驗診所就診；評估的結果是採檢了這1,028位中的1,017位。此外，昨天通過DETECT Snapshot程序對1,612名無症狀者進行了測試。迄今為止，在西澳已經進行了107,811次新冠肺炎檢驗測試。在測試的人中，有18,566人來自西澳州地區。
州政府歡迎珀斯的另一架重要個人防護裝備（PPE）貨運飛機，進一步加強了我們在新冠肺炎應對行動中保護前線人員的能力。最新的交貨是在過去兩週收到的PPE耗材之上。過去兩週的交貨包括：
  • 275,000件隔離禮服；
  • 35,000個手術包；
  • 350萬副手套； 和
  • 一百萬包消毒濕巾。
自新冠肺炎疫情以來，州政府已增加了對PPE的購買。這是最新的一次交付，另外還有價值超過900萬美元的PPE通過飛機直接交付給西澳大利亞衛生部。該設備將幫助滿足當前需求，為新冠肺炎陽性患者的任何增加做好準備，並為醫院計劃在2020年6月15日之前恢復全面的選擇性手術活動提供計劃。
PPE將優先用於西澳大利亞州的公立醫院，但是，作為州政府更廣泛的應對措施的一部分，可能還會向其他機構和社區服務提供庫存。
此外，在西澳州從新冠肺炎經濟復甦期間，鼓勵地方政府加快社區基礎設施項目的發展速度，以幫助支持小型企業和當地工作。 西澳州計劃委員會正邀請各國政府申請使用從開發商處收取的現金捐款來進行開放空間，社區設施和基礎設施的改善工程。
在州際的規劃框架下，可以向進行分區的開發商授予向地方政府提供現金付款的資金，以將其再投資於公共場所，而不是在分區中劃撥土地。隨著州際對新冠肺炎的影響做出回應，將為地方議會提供更大的靈活性，以將這些資金再投資以幫助啟動地方經濟。
過去通過該計劃資助的社區豐富項目包括體育設施升級，基於自然的遊樂場，滑板公園和娛樂中心的改善。還將考慮在這些地區翻新或替換老化的社區基礎設施的機會，例如廁所，遮陽結構，燒烤，自行車道和人行道。
此外，由於新冠肺炎而取消了實際駕駛評估（PDA）的申請者，將在本週末之前與所有人員聯繫，運輸部（DoT）撥打了10,600多個電話-這意味著PDA在線預訂該系統將於今天（2020年6月5日）提供給客戶，比預期提前了三週。
運輸部（DoT）現在試圖與所有取消PDA的申請者聯繫，給予他們優先預訂的權利，其中許多人已經完成了重新預訂的PDA。現在，DoT已多次嘗試與每個被取消的申請者聯繫，因此，通過DoTDirect可以訪問的在線PDA預訂系統將從今天中午開始提供給希望使用PDA的任何人。為了滿足額外的需求，DoT 已招聘和培訓了另外35名駕駛員評估員，並將於6月下旬重新開放其威爾士浦許可中心-該中心將是PDA唯一的中心，每週營業7天，並延長開放時間。
請訪問http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/covid-19，以獲取有關PDA的最新信息。
得益於州政府最新的保護西澳未來勞動力的舉措，超過3,000名學徒和學員將能夠獲得免費培訓。已取消或中止合同以繼續進行“離職”培訓長達六個月的學徒和受訓人員將支付培訓費用。
到目前為止，受影響的學徒和學員中有一半以上是酒店，旅遊，批發和零售服務，個人服務，金融，財產和商業服務以及建築和施工。費用將由培訓和勞動力發展部直接支付給培訓提供者。提供商將從2020年7月1日起可以使用這些付款。
在2020年3月1日至2020年12月31日期間流離失所的合格學徒和學員將有權減免學費。由這些學徒和受訓人員開設的任何單元的學費和資源費將不超過六個月。如果學徒或學員隨後被另一位雇主接任，則費用減免將繼續適用。
這種支持將使學徒和學員在恢復工作中更具就業能力，這只是州政府實施的措施之一，以確保西澳州在新冠肺炎期間使西澳州熟練工人的生產線步入正軌。 鑑於新冠肺炎康復期間可能難以滿足某些要求，而限制實施的同時，雇主也將受益於更為靈活的培訓學徒和學員的方法。

最後，由於新冠肺炎，珀斯動物園將於3月關閉，明天將對公眾開放。作為廣闊的室外環境，動物園沒有容量限制，但是，採取了多種措施來確保遊客保持愉快和健康。
訪客將需要在線預訂和預購票，這將確保在動物園入口處沒有現金處理，並在需要時啟用衛生當局進行聯繫人追蹤的機制。
為了準備迎接訪客，動物園有：
  • 在各個區域放置物理隔離的“爪印”，
  • 在整個動物園範圍內安裝了多個衛生站，
  • 在某些地區實施了單向交通流，
  • 暫時取消了管理員對話，但創建了虛擬管理員演示文稿，可以在客人的個人設備上觀看，
  • 臨時關閉的室內展品，包括夜行館和澳大利亞爬行動物遭遇； 和
  • 完成了強制性的新冠肺炎安全培訓。

儘管動物園已經關閉，但嬰兒潮已經到來，因此比以往任何時候都可以看到更多的風景。 其中包括一個爪哇長臂猿嬰兒，兩個松鼠猴嬰兒，水獺幼崽，帝王絹毛猴嬰兒和50多個西部沼澤龜幼體。 現在，考拉和樹袋鼠喬伊的頭伸出母親的小袋，準備在本星期六對動物園的遊客進行初次見面。

2 June 2020 (6月2日2020)

The Department of Health has reported no new active cases of COVID-19 overnight. The State’s total remains at 591.
There are currently 29 active cases in WA. Of the active cases four are Western Australians, five are from interstate and twenty are crew members from Al Kuwait. Two of the confirmed COVID-19 cases are in hospital. Neither case is in ICU.
To date, 553 people have recovered from the virus in WA. Yesterday 674 people presented to WA COVID-19 clinics; of these 629 were assessed and 620 were swabbed as a result of the assessment. More than 270 asymptomatic people were also tested yesterday through the DETECT Snapshot program. To date there have been 94,948 COVID-19 tests performed in WA. Of those tested, 16,351 were from regional WA.
Following a successful start to the two-week DETECT Snapshot asymptomatic COVID-19 testing program, the State Government has today announced a major expansion of work groups eligible for participation. From tomorrow until Wednesday, 10 June 2020, the following workers who are aged over 18 years and display no symptoms of COVID-19 will be able to undergo a swab test for the virus:
  • School staff involved in any function in a school setting (pre-kindergarten to Year 12), including Department of Education employees;
  • Tourism sector staff of accredited tourism businesses;
  • Transport workers such as truck, bus and train drivers, maritime workers, security and customer service staff working in public transport, and aviation workers
  • Healthcare workers including Western Australian Health staff, employees in private hospitals, residential aged care facilities, general practices, pharmacies, the disability sector, or any worker employed by an organisation delivering health services;
  • WA Police staff;
  • Meat workers employed in an abattoir, meat packing or in further processing such as small goods manufacture
  • Retail workers such as employees in supermarkets, department stores and specialty stores; and
  • Hospitality workers such as employees in cafes, restaurants, pubs or hotels.

Participation is voluntary. The program is being delivered with the support of PathWest, WA's public health service providers, Australian Clinical Labs, Clinipath, and Western Diagnostic Pathology.
Since the start of DETECT Snapshot, approximately 3,000 tests results have been returned and all were negative for COVID-19. The majority of participants were healthcare workers (76%), followed by retail workers (14%). The program has provided further evidence in support of the view that WA has no sustained community transmission.
People who fit the criteria can resume normal activities immediately and will be informed of a negative result via SMS. Anyone who tests positive will be followed up in line with existing Public Health procedures, including isolation and identification of any contacts for follow-up and quarantine.
Testing for the remainder of the population still requires COVID-19 symptoms to be present, with the exception of those participating in approved research studies or where approval has been granted by the Chief Health Officer. Anyone with fever, history of fever, or respiratory symptoms including shortness of breath, cough and/or sore throat should be tested at a designated COVID-19 clinic.
衛生部報告過夜沒有新的新型冠狀肺炎活躍病例。該州的總數仍為591。
西澳州目前有29個活躍案件。在活躍案件中，有四個是西澳大利亞人，五個是來自州際公路，二十個是來自Al Kuwait科威特的船員。已確認的新型冠狀肺炎病例中有2例在醫院中。 加護病房中都沒有這兩種情況。
迄今為止，西澳州已有553人從該病毒中康復。昨天，有674人來到西澳洲新型冠狀肺炎診所；評估的結果是這629例中有620例被擦拭。昨天還通過DETECT Snapshot程序對270多名無症狀人員進行了測試。迄今為止，在西澳已經進行了94,948次新型冠狀肺炎測試。在這些測試中，有16,351名來自西澳州地區。
在成功啟動為期兩週的DETECT Snapshot無症狀新型冠狀肺炎測試計劃之後，州政府今天宣布將擴大有資格參加的工作組。從明天到2020年6月10日（星期三），以下年齡在18歲以上且未表現出新型冠狀肺炎症狀的工人將能夠對該病毒進行拭子測試：
  • 在學校環境中（幼兒園前至12年級）從事任何職能的學校工作人員，包括教育部門的工作人員；
  • 經認可的旅遊企業的旅遊部門工作人員；
  • 運輸工人，例如卡車，公共汽車和火車司機，海事工人，在公共交通部門工作的保安和客戶服務人員以及航空工人
  • 醫護人員，包括西澳大利亞州醫務人員，私立醫院的員工，住宅老年護理設施，一般做法，藥房，殘疾部門或提供衛生服務的組織所僱用的任何工人；
  • 西澳警務人員；
  • 屠宰場，肉包裝或進一步加工（如小商品製造）中僱用的肉類工人
  • 零售工人，例如超市，百貨商店和​​專賣店的員工；和
  • 接待人員，例如咖啡館，飯店，酒館或酒店的員工。

參與是自願的。該計劃是在西澳州公共衛生服務提供商PathWest，澳大利亞臨床實驗室，Clinipath和Western Diagnostic Pathology的支持下交付的。自啟動“檢測快照”以來，已返回大約3,000個測試結果，並且所有結果對新型冠狀肺炎均為陰性。參加者大多數是醫護人員（76％），其次是零售工人（14％）。該計劃提供了進一步的證據，支持西澳州沒有持續的社區傳播的觀點。
符合條件的人可以立即恢復正常活動，並通過簡訊收到負面結果的通知。測試結果呈陽性的任何人都將按照現有的公共衛生程序進行跟進，包括隔離和識別任何接觸者以進行跟進和隔離。
除參與批准的研究或獲得首席衛生官批准的受試者外，其餘人群的檢測仍需要出現新型冠狀肺炎症狀。任何發燒，發燒史或呼吸道症狀（包括呼吸急促，咳嗽和/或喉嚨痛）的人都應在指定的新型冠狀肺炎診所進行檢查。

1 June 2020 (6月1日2020)

The Department of Health has reported one new active case of COVID-19 overnight, and one historical case identified through serology testing, bringing the State’s total to 591. The active case is a woman in her 30s returning from overseas travel, who has been in hotel quarantine since arrival. The historical case was a man in his 40s from the Kimberley who was a known contact of a positive case. He was cleared in April.
There are now 29 active cases in WA.
  • Four are West Australians
  • Five are from interstate
  • Twenty are from overseas.

Of the active cases, 28 are in hotel quarantine, and one – a crew member from Al Kuwait who had been in hotel quarantine – is in Royal Perth hospital. The total number of people who have now recovered from COVID-19 in WA is 553.
Yesterday 548 people presented to WA COVID-19 clinics; of these 538 were assessed and 528 were swabbed as a result of the assessment. Around 360 asymptomatic people were also tested yesterday through the DETECT Snapshot program. To date there have been 94,001 COVID-19 tests performed in WA. Of those tested, 16,175 were from regional WA.
Launched on WA Day, the 'Wander Out Yonder' campaign is supported by the State Government, through Tourism Western Australia, and follows the majority of regional travel restrictions being lifted on Friday, 29 May 2020. (The State Government has also written to the Federal Government to have travel permitted again into the Kimberley region from Friday, 5 June 2020.)
The campaign's focus is to encourage Western Australians to take a different kind of holiday, enjoy a staycation in Perth or travel to new places, and seek out new experiences across the State. With more Western Australians able to holiday and explore WA, instead of going interstate or overseas during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is a chance to drive more economic activity to WA tourism businesses and support local jobs.
衛生部報告了一例新的新冠肺炎活躍病例，通過血清學檢測發現了一個歷史病例，使該州的總數達到591個。活躍病例是一名30多歲的婦女從海外旅行回來，自抵達以來對酒店進行檢疫。歷史案例是來自金伯利（Kimberley）的40多歲男人，他是一個積極案例的密切聯繫人，他於四月已被清除。
西澳州目前有29個活躍案件
  • 四個是西澳大利亞人
  • 五個來自州際
  • 二十個來自海外

在活躍案件中，有28起在酒店檢疫中，其中1名來自Al Kuwait曾於酒店隔離的人員在皇家珀斯醫院中。現在西澳州從新冠肺炎中恢復的人數為553。
昨天有548人出席了西澳新冠肺炎檢疫診所；評估的結果是對這538個評估中的528個進行了採檢。昨天還通過DETECT Snapshot程序對大約360名無症狀者進行了測試。迄今為止，在西澳州已經進行了94,001個新冠肺炎測試。在測試的人中，有16,175人來自西澳州。
西澳大利亞州日（WA Day）發起了“ Wander Out Yonder”運動，該運動得到州政府通過西澳大利亞旅遊局的支持，並在2020年5月29日（星期五）取消了大部分區域旅行限制。（州政府還致函聯邦政府將從2020年6月5日（星期五）起再次允許旅行進入金伯利地區。）
該活動的重點是鼓勵西澳大利亞人休假，在珀斯度假或前往新地方，並在全州尋找新的體驗。隨著越來越多的西澳大利亞人能夠度假和探索西澳，而不是在新冠肺炎大流行期間前往州際或海外旅行，這是一個推動西澳旅遊業開展更多經濟活動並支持當地就業的機會。

30 May 2020 (5月30日2020)

The Department of Health has reported no new active cases of COVID-19 overnight; however, the State’s total now stands at 586 after one historical case was identified through serology testing. This historical case is no longer infectious and does not carry any risk to the public of WA.
The historical case is a crew member from Al Kuwait. Serology testing was performed on the man to determine whether his previous illness had been COVID-19, as part of a thorough investigation to determine potential sources of the cases on board the Al Kuwait. All of the 48 crew members from Al Kuwait have been tested. The 10 crew members on the ship have all tested negative to active infection.

29 May 2020 (5月29日2020)

The Department of Health has reported eight new cases of COVID-19 overnight, bringing the State’s total to 585. All of the eight new cases are crew members from Al Kuwait. There are now 25 active cases in Western Australia. Of the active cases one is a Western Australian, four are from interstate and 20 are crew members from Al Kuwait.
To date, 551 people have recovered from the virus in WA, following one additional recovery overnight. There are no confirmed COVID-19 patients in Perth hospitals.
Yesterday 1,052 people presented to WA COVID-19 clinics, and of these 957 were assessed and 937 were swabbed. To date there have been 85,738 COVID-19 tests performed in WA. Of those, 14,830 tests were carried out in regional WA.
Restrictions on visiting hours at Western Australian hospitals will be partially eased from Tuesday (2 June 2020) and the number of people permitted to visit will increase to two people at one time. This gradual easing of visitor restrictions reflects the significant progress made by WA and the State Government in slowing the spread of COVID-19. Children will also be able to return as visitors and maternity patients can now be accompanied by two birthing partners.
To ensure the safety of staff and patients, physical distancing throughout all locations remains critically important and visitors should continue to practice good personal hygiene. As always, people should not visit patients in hospitals if they are unwell and the guidelines still stipulate that visitors should not enter a hospital if they:
  • have tested positive for COVID-19;
  • have a fever or a cold or a flu-like illness, including symptoms such as, sore throat, cough, fatigue and difficulty breathing;
  • have travelled outside Australia and are therefore required to self-isolate for 14 days; or
  • have been in contact with a confirmed case of coronavirus and are therefore required to self-isolate for 14 days

To ensure all of our patients can continue to remain socially connected during COVID-19, health staff will be available to discuss alternative means of communication for people who would otherwise visit patients, such as virtual communications including phone, and video-communication. Visitor restrictions to confirmed and suspected COVID-19 patients remain in place at all public hospitals.
The State Government has introduced a new code of conduct to help commercial tenants and landlords reach agreements about rent during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The code applies to small businesses, including retail stores, with an annual turnover of less than $50 million and which qualify for the JobKeeper scheme or have experienced a decline in turnover of 30 per cent or more during the emergency period (six months from 30 March 2020). Small charities only need to show a 15% reduction in turnover
The code provides guidelines to assist commercial tenants and landlords to negotiate a rent relief agreement during COVID-19 to ensure businesses survive the economic downturn associated with the pandemic.
Lastly, the State Government has announced Phase 3 of the roadmap to ease COVID-19 restrictions in WA, with significant changes coming into effect from Saturday, 6 June 2020. As part of Phase 3, Western Australia will be the first State in the nation to implement a two square metre per person capacity rule for venues, replacing the previous four square metre rule, which is the current national advice. However, Western Australians must continue to practice physical distancing and good personal hygiene at all times. Phase 3 will come into effect from Saturday, 6 June 2020 (or 11.59pm Friday, 5 June 2020). It includes:
  • non-work indoor and outdoor gatherings of up to 100 people at any one time, per single undivided space, up to 300 people in total per venue (100/300 rule);
  • food businesses and licensed premises may operate with seated service;
  • alcohol may be served without a meal at licensed premises (patrons must be seated);
  • food courts can reopen with a seated service;
  • beauty therapy and personal care services to reopen;
  • saunas, bath houses, float centres, massage and wellness centres to reopen (100/300 rule);
  • galleries, museums, theatres, auditoriums, cinemas and concert venues can reopen (during any performance, the patrons must be seated. (100/300 rule));
  • Rottnest Island to reopen to the WA general public;
  • Perth Zoo to open with no patron limit for the whole venue (the 100/300 rule applies to indoor spaces and cafés/restaurants);
  • wildlife and amusement parks can reopen (100/300 rule);
  • arcades (including pool/snooker, ten pin bowling, Timezone), skate rinks and indoor play centres to reopen (100/300 rule);
  • auction houses and real estate auctions can reopen;
  • TAB and other gaming venues (other than the Casino which is being considered separately) are permitted to reopen;
  • full contact sport and training is now permitted;
  • playgrounds, skate parks and outdoor gym equipment are permitted to be used;
  • parents/guardians will be able to enter school grounds to drop off or pick up their children;
  • gyms, health clubs and indoor sports centres will be able to offer the normal range of activities, including the use of all gym equipment (gyms must be staffed at all times and undertake regular cleaning).

WA businesses are reminded that they must submit a COVID Safety Plan, prior to reopening, to ensure they mitigate the risk of COVID-19, in line with health advice. Premises that opened during Phase 2 should update their COVID Safety Plans accordingly.
Phase 4 will be finalised in the coming weeks, based on the advice from the Chief Health Officer and will take into account the impact of Phase 3 in the WA community.

迄今為止，一夜之間又有一次恢復，已有551人從西澳州的病毒中恢復過來。珀斯的醫院中沒有確診的新型管狀肺炎患者。
昨天有1,052人到西澳洲新型管狀肺炎診所就診，其中957人被評估，937人被擦拭。迄今為止，在西澳洲中已經進行了85,738個新型管狀肺炎測試。其中，在西澳大利亞州地區進行了14,830次測試。
自周二（2020年6月2日）起，將部分放寬對西澳州醫院探視時間的限制，並且允許探視的人數將一次增加至2人。遊客限制的逐步放鬆反映了西澳州和州政府在減緩新型管狀肺炎傳播方面取得的重大進展。兒童也將能夠返回，因為來訪者和產婦現在可以由兩個分娩伴侶陪同。
為了確保醫護人員和患者的安全，社交隔離仍然重要，醫院訪客應繼續保持良好的個人衛生習慣。 與往常一樣，如果醫院訪客若身體不適，指南仍然規定，訪客不應去醫院拜訪病人，若：
  • 對新型管狀肺測試呈陽性；
  • 患有發燒，感冒或類似流感的疾病，包括喉嚨痛，咳嗽，疲勞和呼吸困難等症狀；
  • 曾到澳大利亞境外旅行，因此必須自我隔離14天； 或
  • 已與確診的冠狀病毒病例接觸，因此需要自我隔離14天

為確保在新型冠狀肺炎大流行期間我們所有患者都能繼續保持社交聯繫，醫護人員將可以與其他可能會拜訪患者的人們討論其他交流方式，包括電話和視頻交流。所有公立醫院對已確診和疑似新型管狀肺患者的訪客限制仍然存在。
州政府推出了一項新的行為準則，以幫助商業租戶和房東在新型冠狀病毒大流行期間達成有關租金的協議。該守則適用於年營業額低於5,000萬澳元且符合JobKeeper計劃或在緊急時期（自3月30日起六個月）營業額下降30％或以上的小型企業，包括零售商店2020）。小型慈善機構的營業額只需減少15％該準則提供了指導原則，以協助商業租戶和房東在新型管狀肺期間談判租金減免協議，以確保企業在與大流行相關的經濟衰退中倖免。
最後，社交限制減緩將從2020年6月6日星期六生效。作為第3階段的一部分，西澳州將成為全國第一個州實施每人兩平方米的容量規則，以取代以前的現行國家四平方米規則。但是，西澳人必須始終保持身體疏遠和良好的個人衛生習慣。
 第三階段將於2020年6月6日星期六（或2020年6月5日星期五晚上11.59pm）生效。這包括：
  • 每個單獨的未劃分空間，一次最多可容納100人的非工作室內和室外聚會，每個場所總共可容納300人（100/300規則）；
  • 食品企業和持牌經營場所可提供坐席服務；
  • 就算餐客沒點餐，有執照的場所還是允許提供酒精飲料（必須坐在座位上）；
  • 美食廣場可以在有座位的情況下重新開放；
  • 重新開放美容治療和個人護理服務；
  • 重新開放的桑拿浴室，浴室，浮動中心，按摩和健康中心（100/300規則）；
  • 畫廊，博物館，劇院，禮堂，電影院和音樂會場所可以重新開放（在任何表演中，觀眾必須就座。（100/300規則））；
  • 羅特尼斯島（Rottnest Island）重新向西澳公眾開放；
  • 珀斯動物園將開放整個場館，沒有顧客限制（100/300規則適用於室內空間和咖啡館/餐廳）；
  • 野生動物和遊樂園可以重新開放（100/300規則）；
  • 商場（包括游泳池/斯諾克台球，十針保齡球，時區），溜冰場和室內游樂中心重新開放（100/300規則）；
  • 拍賣行和房地產拍賣可以重新開放；
  • TAB和其他遊戲場所（賭場除外）將重新開放；
  • 現在允許進行全面的接觸運動和訓練；
  • 允許使用遊樂場，滑板場和戶外健身器材；
  • 父母/監護人將能夠進入校園接送孩子或接孩子；
  • 健身房，健身俱樂部和室內運動中心將能夠提供正常的活動範圍，包括使用所有健身房設備（健身房必須始終配備人員並進行定期清潔）。

提醒西澳州的企業，在重新開放之前，必須提交新型管狀肺炎安全計劃，以確保根據健康建議降低新型管狀肺炎的風險。在第2階段開放的場所應相應更新其新型管狀肺炎安全計劃。
根據首席衛生官的建議，第四階段將在未來幾週內完成，並將考慮第三階段對西澳社區的影響。

28 May 2020 (5月28日2020)

The Department of Health has today reported seven new cases of COVID-19, bringing the State’s total to 577. Of these seven new cases, six are crew members from Al Kuwait and one is a returned overseas traveller who is already in hotel quarantine.
Three of the Al Kuwait crew members tested positive while still onboard the ship and are being transferred to hotel quarantine. The other three crew members who tested positive are already in hotel quarantine after disembarking the ship yesterday. An additional two crew members are being transferred from the ship into hotel quarantine as they had significant contact with crew members who have tested positive. The 10 crew members remaining on the ship have been tested for COVID-19 and all crew members in hotel quarantine will also be tested.
There are now 18 active cases in Western Australia. Of the active cases one is a Western Australian, five are from interstate and 12 are crew members from Al Kuwait.
To date, 550 people have recovered from the virus in WA, following one additional recovery overnight. There are no confirmed COVID-19 patients in Perth hospitals. Yesterday 974 people presented to WA COVID-19 clinics, and of these 903 were assessed and 882 were swabbed. To date there have been 83,318 COVID-19 tests performed in WA. Of those, 14,079 tests were carried out in regional WA.
Elective surgery in Western Australian hospitals will increase to 75% of normal activity on Tuesday, 2 June 2020, with the full resumption of elective surgery activity expected on Monday, 15 June 2020. Increase possible due to a low number of COVID-19 cases in WA and appropriate use of personal protective equipment.
Patients will be contacted by the hospital if the surgery is scheduled to proceed. People are asked to not contact hospitals directly with enquiries as it diverts staff away from their core duties at this busy time. The impact of elective surgery will be monitored and reviewed in the coming months, including a strategy to undertake additional elective surgery.
Lastly, a preliminary assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on the WA economy and State finances was tabled in Parliament. The Economic and Fiscal Update was tabled along with the March Quarterly Financial Results Report, which outlined the State's financial performance for the first nine-months of 2019-20, and largely reflects conditions prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Economy expected to contract in 2020-21, before returning to growth.
While royalty collections have remained relatively stable during the pandemic, significant downturns are forecast for other revenue sources including GST grants, payroll tax, transfer duty, land tax and vehicle licence duty. Government revenue estimated to decline by $1.8 billion lower than outlined in the 2019-20 Mid-year Review.
The increase in expenditure to respond to COVID-19 combined with the reduction in revenues in the June quarter is expected to considerably reduce the forecast $2.6 billion operating surplus for 2019-20, which was anticipated in the Mid-Year Review.
The Treasurer told the State Parliament today that forecasts should be treated with caution given the high level of uncertainty of the depth and duration of the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on the State, national and international economies.
衛生部今天報告了7例新的新冠肺炎病例，使該州的總數達到577例。在這7例新病例中，有6名是來自Al Kuwait 的人員，還有1名是已經在酒店隔離的回國旅客。
Al Kuwait 的三名乘員在仍在船上時被測為陽性，目前被轉移到酒店隔離。昨天下船後，測試為陽性的其他三名船員已在酒店隔離區。由於另外兩名船員與測試陽性的船員有密切聯繫，因此他們正從船上轉移到酒店隔離區。留在船上的10名船員已經過新冠肺炎的測試，酒店檢疫中的所有船員也將接受測試。
現在，西澳大利亞州有18例活躍病例。在活躍案件中，一名是西澳大利亞人，五名來自州際，十二名是來自Al Kuwait 的人員。
迄今為止，在經過一夜，已有550人從西澳州的病毒中康復過來。珀斯的醫院中沒有確診的新冠肺炎患者。昨天，有974人到了西澳州新冠肺炎診所就診，其中903人被評估，其中882人被採檢。迄今為止，在西澳州中已經進行了83,318個新冠肺炎測試。其中，有1,079項測試在西澳州進行。
到2020年6月2日星期二，西澳州醫院的擇期手術將增加至正常活動的75％，預計於2020年6月15日星期一將完全恢復擇期手術，考量於西澳州減少的案例加上適當使用個人防護設備。
如果計劃進行手術，醫院將與患者聯繫。要求人們不要直接與醫院聯繫進行查詢，因為這會使工作人員在繁忙的工作時間脫離他們的核心職責。
在接下來的幾個月中，將對選擇性手術的影響進行監測和審查，包括採取其他選擇性手術的策略。
最後，議會針對新冠肺炎對西澳經濟和州財政的影響進行了初步評估。《經濟和財政最新動態》與《 3月季度財務結果報告》一起發布，該報告概述了該州在2019-20年前九個月的財務表現，並在很大程度上反映了COVID-19大流行之前的狀況。經濟有望在2020-21年收縮，然後再恢復增長。
在大流行期間，特許權使用費收入保持相對穩定，但預計其他收入來源（包括商品服務稅補貼，工資稅，轉讓稅，土地稅和車輛牌照稅）將大幅下降。政府收入估計將比2019-20年年中審查的概述減少18億美元。
響應新冠肺炎的支出增加加上6月季度收入減少，預計將顯著減少2019-20年度的26億美元營業盈餘，這在《年中回顧》中預計。
財務主任今天告訴州議會，鑑於新冠肺炎對州，國家和國際經濟的持續影響的深度和持續時間存在高度不確定性，對預測應謹慎對待。

27 May 2020 (5月27日2020)

The Department of Health has reported no new cases of COVID-19 overnight. The State total of confirmed COVID-19 cases remains at 570.
There are now 12 active cases in Western Australia. Two of the active cases are West Australians, four are from interstate and six are crew members from the Al Kuwait. All 12 cases are in self-isolation at home or in hotel quarantine.
To date, 549 people have recovered from the virus in WA and there are no confirmed COVID-19 patients in a Perth hospital. Yesterday 863 people presented to WA COVID-19 clinics, and of these 790 were assessed and 784 were swabbed. To date there have been 80,166 COVID-19 tests performed in WA. Of those, 14,031 tests were carried out in regional WA.
People not showing any symptoms of COVID-19 from vulnerable groups in the community now have the opportunity to be tested for the virus under the State Government's DETECT Snapshot.
Healthcare workers, WA Police staff, meat workers, supermarket and retail staff, and hospitality workers who are asymptomatic can undergo a swab test for COVID-19 from Thursday, 28 May 2020 to Wednesday, 10 June 2020.
Participation is voluntary and open to adults who work in the identified groups, selected mainly for their frequent interaction with the public during COVID-19 or where documented outbreaks have occurred in other jurisdictions.
Testing will be available State-wide from COVID-19 testing clinics. Those tested will be able to resume normal activities immediately and will be informed of a negative result via SMS. Anyone who tests positive will be followed up in line with existing Public Health procedures, including isolation and identification of any contacts for follow up and quarantine.
Testing arrangements for everyone else remains the same.
Anyone with fever, history of fever, or respiratory symptoms including shortness of breath, cough and/or sore throat should be tested at a designated COVID-19 clinic.
The State Government has established a top-level State Recovery Advisory Group (SRAG) to help lead Western Australia's recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The SRAG includes representatives from business, industry, not-for-profit organisations, UnionsWA, the public sector, local government and the community. The group will provide high level and strategic advice on the impacts of COVID-19 and help to guide the development of the State Recovery Plan. It will provide valuable feedback to the State Government on ongoing and emerging challenges relating to COVID-19.
A draft Impact Statement will be released shortly to address each of the State's recovery areas - health, economic and infrastructure, social, industry and regional WA. A key part of developing the State Recovery Plan will include a series of Ministerial roundtable discussions with these key stakeholders, face-to-face and virtual, to gather feedback on the draft Impact Statement and to inform the State Recovery Plan.
Today, the Water Minister announced a new measure to further help Water Corporation customers financially recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. The additional assistance will provide relief to Western Australian businesses most impacted by COVID-19, and help support the State's economy to recover.
Wastewater service charges are applied to commercial customers based on the customer's number of major fixtures (toilet, urinal or pan washer). This longstanding wastewater tariff structure is considered the most equitable way of sharing the significant costs of meeting 'peak demand'.
Businesses who are eligible for JobKeeper payments with four or more fixtures can apply to have their wastewater service charges waived (fourth to 200th fixture inclusive) for the period of 1 May 2020 to 31 August 2020. Businesses can receive up to approximately $41,000 in relief through this measure. The measure is estimated to cost the State Budget $5.5 million.
The scheme will be implemented on an application basis via the Water Corporation's website or by calling its customer contact centre. Applications will open from June 2, 2020.
In addition, the State Government is implementing procurement changes for goods and services contracts to give Western Australian businesses a boost during the COVID-19 pandemic. The changes, to take effect from 2 June 2020, will make it easier for government agencies to award and extend goods and services contracts with local businesses. This will assist the Western Australian economy and local businesses recover from the economic impacts of COVID-19.
The procurement changes for goods and services include:
  • allowing agencies to purchase direct from a local business up to $250,000 (a $200,000 increase on the current limit);
  • lifting the threshold for public tender processes up to $500,000 when at least one local business is involved (an increase of $250,000);
  • enabling agencies to obtain written quotations, in place of a tender, between $250,000 and $500,000, where one or more local businesses can supply; and
  • allowing agencies to extend government contracts with local businesses for up to two years to give businesses certainty.

These are temporary changes to boost the local economy and businesses during the pandemic. These changes will be in place until the end of 2020.
衛生部報告一夜之間沒有新的新型管狀肺炎病例。州確認的新型管狀肺炎病例總數仍為570。
現在，西澳州有12例活躍病例。活躍的案件中有兩個是西澳州人，四個是來自州際公路，六個是來自Al Kuwai 科威特的船員。所有12例病例都在家中或在酒店隔離中處於自我隔離狀態。
迄今為止，西澳州已有549人從該病毒中恢復過來，珀斯的醫院中沒有確診的新型管狀肺炎患者。昨天有863人來到西澳州新型管狀肺炎診所，其中790人被評估並擦洗784人。迄今為止，在西澳洲中已經進行了80,166次新型管狀肺炎測試。其中，有1,0431個測試在西澳州地區進行。
現在，在社區弱勢群體中沒有表現出新型管狀肺炎症狀的人們現在有機會根據州政府的“檢測快照”進行病毒檢測。
從2020年5月28日星期四至2020年6月10日星期三，無症狀的醫護人員，西澳州警察，肉類工人，超市和零售人員以及酒店服務人員都可以接受新型管狀肺炎的棉籤測試。
參與是自願的，並且向在確定的群體中工作的成年人開放，這些成年人的選擇主要是因為他們在新型管狀肺炎期間經常與公眾互動，或者在其他轄區發生了爆發的文件。
測試將在新型管狀肺炎測試診所的全州範圍內進行。 被測者將能夠立即恢復正常活動，並通過簡訊收到負面結果的通知。 呈陽性的任何人都將按照現有的公共衛生程序進行跟進，包括隔離和識別任何接觸者以進行跟進和隔離。
其他所有人的測試安排保持不變。
任何發燒，發燒史或呼吸道症狀（包括呼吸急促，咳嗽和/或喉嚨痛）的人都應在指定的新型管狀肺炎診所進行檢查。
州政府已經建立了一個高級州康復諮詢小組（SRAG），以幫助引領西澳州從新型管狀肺炎大流行的影響中恢復過來。 SRAG包括來自企業，行業，非營利組織，UnionsWA，公共部門，地方政府和社區的代表。該小組將就新型管狀肺炎的影響提供高水平的戰略建議，並幫助指導州恢復計劃的製定。它將就與新型管狀肺炎相關的持續和新興挑戰向州政府提供寶貴的反饋。
影響聲明草案將在短期內發布，涉及該州的每個恢復領域-健康，經濟和基礎設施，社會，工業和西澳大利亞州。制定《國家恢復計劃》的關鍵部分將包括與這些主要利益相關者面對面和虛擬的一系列部長級圓桌討論，以收集對《影響聲明》草案的反饋並為《國家恢復計劃》提供信息。
今天，水務大臣宣布了一項新措施，以進一步幫助自來水公司的客戶從新型管狀肺炎大流行中經濟復甦。額外的援助將為受新型管狀肺炎影響最大的西澳大利亞州企業提供救濟，並幫助支持該州的經濟復甦。
根據客戶的主要固定裝置（廁所，小便池或洗碗池）的數量，向商業客戶收取廢水服務費。這種長期的廢水費率結構被認為是分擔滿足“峰值需求”的高昂成本的最公平方法。
有資格獲得四個或更多固定裝置的JobKeeper付款的企業可以申請免除2020年5月1日至2020年8月31日的廢水服務費（包括第四至第二百個固定裝置）。企業可以通過以下方式獲得最高約41,000澳元的減免： 這個措施。 估計該措施將花費州預算550萬澳元。
該計劃將通過自來水公司的網站或致電其客戶聯繫中心以應用為基礎實施。 申請將於2020年6月2日開始。
此外，州政府正在實施商品和服務合同的採購變更，以在大流行期間推動西澳大利亞州的企業發展。 這項變更將於2020年6月2日生效，這將使政府機構更容易與本地企業簽訂和擴展商品和服務合同。 這將有助於西澳大利亞州經濟和當地企業從新型管狀肺炎的經濟影響中恢復過來。
商品和服務的採購變更包括：
  • 允許代理商直接向當地企業購買最高25萬澳元的產品（當前限額增加了20萬澳元）；
  • 當涉及至少一家本地企業時，將公開招標程序的門檻提高到500,000美元（增加250,000澳元）；
  • 使代理機構能夠以25萬澳元至500,000澳元之間的價格代替招標書獲得一份或多份本地企業可以提供的書面報價； 和
  • 允許代理商將與當地企業的政府合同延長兩年，以確保企業的確定性。

這些是在大流行期間促進當地經濟和企業發展的臨時變化。 這些變化將持續到2020年底。

26 May 2020 (5月26日2020)

The Department of Health has reported six new cases of COVID-19 overnight. The positive cases – all males – are crew from a livestock carrier which is docked in Fremantle Harbour. The ship – Al Kuwait – travelled to Perth from Qatar.
The six confirmed cases were moved off the ship today to a Perth hotel in a State Government operation involving WA Health, WA Police and Fremantle Port Authority as well as the Commonwealth Department of Agriculture, Border Force and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.
For the time being, the remaining 42 crew members, who are well, will stay on board the ship and will be monitored and undergo health assessments as required. A WAMAT team will board the ship to further assess crew and provide advice around health and infection control.
The State total of confirmed COVID-19 cases is now 570. As well as today’s new cases, there are six active COVID-19 cases being monitored in Perth. They are all in self-isolation – at home or in hotel quarantine.
To date, 549 people have recovered from the virus in WA and there are no confirmed COVID-19 patients in Perth hospitals. A total of 78,308 COVID-19 tests have been performed in WA. Of those,13,811 tests were carried out in regional WA. Yesterday 894 people presented to WA COVID-19 clinics, and of these 837 were assessed and 831 were swabbed.
衛生部在一夜之間報告了六例新的新冠肺炎病例。陽性病例（均為男性）是來自停泊在弗里曼特爾港的牲畜運輸船的船員。阿爾科威特號船從卡達乘船前往珀斯。
六例確診病例今天已被移出船，前往西澳州政府運營的珀斯一家酒店，西澳州衛生部，西澳州警察和弗里曼特爾港務局以及英聯邦農業部，邊防部隊和澳大利亞海事安全局負責。
暫時，其餘42名狀況良好的船員將留在船上，並將受到監控，並根據需要進行健康評估。 WAMAT團隊將登船，以進一步評估船員並提供有關健康和感染控制的建議。
目前，西澳州已確認的新冠肺炎病例總數為570。與今天的新病例一樣，珀斯正在監視6例活躍的病例。他們全都處於自我隔離狀態–在家中或在酒店隔離。
迄今為止，西澳州已有549人從該病毒中康復過來，珀斯的醫院中沒有確診的新冠肺炎患者。在西澳州中，總共進行了78,308個新冠肺炎測試。其中，在西澳州進行了13,811次測試。昨天有894人到西澳州新冠肺炎診所就診，其中837人被評估，831人被採檢。

25 May 2020 (5月25日2020)

The Department of Health has reported four new cases of COVID-19 overnight, bringing the State’s total to 564. All four cases are from one family who returned from overseas and are in hotel quarantine.
As with all cases, contact tracing is carried out to ensure all close contacts have been notified and are self-isolating. There are now six active cases in Western Australia and no active cases in regional WA.
To date, 549 people have recovered from the virus in WA and there are no confirmed COVID-19 patients in Perth hospitals. A total of 77,501 COVID-19 tests have been performed in WA. Of those, 13,740 tests were carried out in regional WA.
In addition, Western Australia's remaining regional travel boundaries will be reduced further, as part of the State Government's gradual and safe easing of COVID-19 restrictions. From this Friday, 29 May 2020 (or 11.59pm on Thursday, May 28), the regional boundaries will be lifted except for regions that are bound by the Commonwealth's designated biosecurity determination and 274 remote Aboriginal communities.
The WA Police Commissioner and the State Government are working with the Federal Government to remove the Commonwealth designated biosecurity areas from Friday, 5 June 2020 - around two weeks earlier than the anticipated deadline set by the Federal Government. This means until then, people will need an exemption to enter the Kimberley region, parts of the East Pilbara and the Shire of Ngaanyatjarraku.
For more up-to-date details on the current restrictions, please visit the WA-Related Precautions page.
12 Western Australian research projects have been boosted with funding from the State Government. $1.9 million in research grants has been awarded to support COVID-related research projects. Another $1 million has been provided for infrastructure support which will cover costs of consumables, staffing and site set-up for local COVID-19 research.
The funding for the 12 research projects will go towards treatments, studies of at-risk groups, development of less invasive tests, study of mental health impacts and tests that will more accurately inform us about immunity of COVID-19.
Lastly, the State Government has approved a $1.5 million support package, developed by the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) Board and the Art Gallery's Foundation, to help Western Australian artists during the COVID-19 emergency. Under the initiative, all living Western Australian artists represented in the State Art Collection will receive $2,000 towards creating an online State Art Collection archive.
Independent and art centre-based Aboriginal artists will share up to $525,000 through a targeted acquisition program to purchase existing works from up to 15 independent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and from 25 Aboriginal art centres. In total, more than 400 Western Australian artists will directly benefit from the initiative, injecting up to $1.5 million into the arts sector economy. The AGWA is working with the Aboriginal Art Centre Hub Western Australia (AACHWA) to ensure both small and large art centres are represented in the program.
衛生部報告了一夜之間有4例新的新型管狀肺炎病例，使該州的總數達到564例。這4例病例均來自一個從海外歸國的家庭，他們正在酒店隔離。
與所有情況一樣，將進行聯繫人跟踪，以確保所有緊密聯繫人都已得到通知並且是自隔離的。現在，西澳州有6個活躍案件，西澳州郊外沒有活躍案件。
迄今為止，西澳州已有549人從該病毒中恢復過來，珀斯的醫院中沒有確診的COVID-19患者。在西澳州中，總共進行了77,501個新型冠狀肺炎測試。其中，在西澳州進行了13,740項測試。
此外，作為州政府逐步安全放寬新型冠狀肺炎限制的一部分，西澳州剩餘的區域旅行範圍將進一步減少。從2020年5月29日（星期五）（或5月28日，星期四，11.59pm）開始，區域邊界將被取消，但受聯邦指定生物安全性決定和274個偏遠原住民社區約束的區域除外。西澳大利亞州警務專員和州政府正在與聯邦政府合作，從2020年6月5日（星期五）開始拆除英聯邦指定的生物安全區-比聯邦政府設定的預期截止日期提前了約兩週。這意味著在那之前，人們將需要豁免進入Kimberly金伯利地區，East Pilbara東皮爾巴拉地區的一部分和Shire of Ngaanyatjarraku恩加亞那加拉庫郡。
有關當前限制的更多最新信息，請訪問西澳相關注意事項頁面。
州政府的資助促進了12個西澳大利亞州的研究項目。已授予190萬澳元的研究贈款，以支持與新型管狀肺炎相關的研究項目。另外還提供了100萬澳元用於基礎設施支持，其中包括耗材的成本，人員配備和本地新型管狀肺炎研究的場地設置。
這12個研究項目的資金將用於治療，高危人群研究，開發侵入性較小的測試，研究心理健康影響以及能夠更準確地告知我們有關新型管狀肺炎免疫力的測試。
最後，州政府已批准由西澳大利亞美術館（AGWA）董事會和美術館基金會共同開發的150萬澳元支持計劃，以在新型管狀肺炎緊急情況下幫助西澳大利亞藝術家。根據該計劃，參加State Art Collection的所有在世的西澳大利亞藝術家將獲得2,000澳元，用於創建在網上State Art Collection檔案。
獨立的和藝術中心的土著藝術家將通過有針對性的收購計劃分享多達525,000澳元，以從15位獨立的土著和托雷斯海峽島民藝術家以及25個土著藝術中心購買現有作品。總共將有400多名西澳大利亞藝術家直接從該計劃中受益，為藝術行業經濟注入了多達150萬澳元。 AGWA正在與西澳大利亞州原住民藝術中心中心（AACHWA）合作，以確保該計劃中既有大型藝術中心也有代表。
