McGowan: Indian arrivals put ‘extreme pressure’ on WA hotel quarantine

Premier Mark McGowan says while the escalating coronavirus crisis in India is “diabolical” it simultaneously puts “extreme pressure” on the Western Australian quarantine systems. “I'm advised that other states are going through exactly the same experience,” he said. Western Australia has recorded no new locally acquired cases overnight but has identified four cases of the coronavirus in hotel quarantine among travellers who had recently spent time in India. The state has just moved out of a three-day snap lockdown imposed after one case of community transmission was identified by contact tracers.
