Earlier today, we announced Western Australia’s full border opening on Thursday, 3 March.

While this will be welcome news for many families, the introduction of quarantine-free travel will naturally mean there will be greater spread of the virus in WA.

At the same time, it is evident that our daily case numbers are accelerating.

This Omicron outbreak effectively started in WA on 2 January, when a traveller from Tasmania arrived with Omicron. More than 6 weeks later, only now are we seeing daily local case numbers in the triple digits.

This is a long time to hold an Omicron outbreak at bay, thanks to so many Western Australians willing to do the right thing.

Unfortunately now, the current size and pace of the outbreak will continue to accelerate, and in order to avoid the worst outcomes that we have seen over east, we will need to introduce some additional public health and social measures.

Introducing these additional measures is not something we want to do, but we know from the eastern states’ experience that applying measures before the peak will help in the long run.

The measures are about trying to strike the right balance – to minimise the impact on businesses and the economy, and to save lives.

These Level One measures are for Perth, Peel, the South West, Great Southern, Wheatbelt and Pilbara regions – and we will expand them to other regions as cases are identified in the community.

Effective 6.00am Monday, all regions in WA will have the indoor mask requirement, and existing proof of vaccination and contact registration requirements.

These are reasonable, sensible public health measures to keep more businesses open, give the public more confidence that they can safely go about their business, while at the same time, manage the rise in infection and reduce the impact on the health system and our hard working doctors and nurses.

New COVID restrictions

Today we announced the new date for WA’s full border opening – and it’s worth talking through how we got here.

Four weeks ago, on January 20, we took the difficult decision to delay Western Australia’s full border opening.

It was a tough call – but it was also the right call for our State.
Proceeding with the original plan and dropping our borders at the height of the east coast Omicron outbreak would have been a complete unforced error.

It would have caused a massive seeding event, while we had low third dose vaccination rates, and children aged 5 to 11 barely had the time to get even one dose.

Instead we committed to review the border controls in February, while we drove up our vaccination rates and created a pathway for tens of thousands of Western Australians and others to come back in a safe and orderly way, with quarantine and testing.

In the four weeks since that announcement;
-34,000 people safely returned to WA
-We have driven up our vaccination levels, with our third dose rates soaring from 25 per cent then, to more than 55 per cent today, and expected to climb to 70 per cent by March 3
-On top of that, first doses for children aged five to 11 have tripled from 13 per cent to 45.7 per cent.
-And thankfully, the east coast Omicron outbreak appears to have peaked and is declining.

Our promised review has now been completed. And it is clear that the situation has improved.

It is plain to see that four weeks of caution, has paid dividends.
It is now far safer to relax our hard border settings.

So, based on the latest health advice, I can announce, that effective 12:01am Thursday the 3rd of March, Western Australia will resume our full border opening – safely, sensibly and responsibly.

The notice period of nearly two weeks gives the community and businesses time to prepare and make plans.

I know removing the hard border is a step that some in the community have been looking forward to for some time.

I note there are also Western Australians who will be apprehensive, but I want them to know – WA is prepared.

We have the supplies, we have the policy settings.

We have one of the most vaccinated populations in the world.

But we still have the capacity to do more.

So please – if it’s been three months since your second dose, go and book your third dose now.

Do not wait, do not hesitate, vaccination can save your life.

March 3 will be a step forward for Western Australia.

A safe step forward, taken at the right time, in the right way.

8th January 2022 I married my best friend, soul mate and partner in life. Believe it or not it was my now new husband who encouraged me to start this business. He saw I had a gift that I could share with everyone and was my biggest supporter to start Kim Aurelie Bridal Artistry. He was been there through the initial start up and without his support my small business wouldn’t be thriving as it has been.

I am truly blessed to have him in my life and can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Apologies for being MIA I have been currently road tripping across WA and enjoying spending time with my one and only.

I will be back to take any Enquiries upon my return towards the end of January.

For now - enjoying being in Love ❤️

With love and gratitude to all my future brides to be,

Kim Aurelie
