In News today we come to find that Western Australia will end the five day strict lockdown they were under after 6pm as there has been no record of any new cases of the corona virus on Friday.
There was a record of one patient who tested positive from the virus but it was not a local or a locally infected either, the new patient found was a returned traveler from abroad and is now in quarantine in a hotel where there is minimal contact with others and is being given the care he needs.
Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan stated that is a massive mile stone to get to that this part of Australia has come to the point of zero Covid patients and that things are looking up in 2021 as it was bleak in 2020.
Premier Mark McGowan Went on to say that he is “’so relieved we have got this point. I can confirm we will exit lockdown at 6.00pm tonight. The only reason that could change was if local cases were recorded this afternoon.”
There were 8,307 tests done overnight in the area and nearly 50,000 test since Sunday and it was then that this one case was found, an immediate lockdown was enforced even for just this one case as then did not the one case to spiral out of control and put the country 10 steps behind of what they were, which is almost at the finish line.
There were 191 close contact cases that were identified and 190 of those cases when tested came out negative for the virus and only one was tested as positive and on the other hand 306 people out of the 317 casual contacts that were tested came out as negative in the results so far.
