People in Perth and the outer-metropolitan area of Peel woke to the first morning of the three-day Covid-19 lockdown.
The Western Australian city went into lockdown after a man from Victoria tested positive for Covid-19 after leaving a quarantine hotel in Perth at the end of 14 days isolation. The virus was passed on to another person and there are several locations of interest including a Qantas flight to Melbourne.
Quarantine-free travel between Western Australia and New Zealand has been suspended. Both countries have planned for this type of scenario and are following agreed Trans-Tasman bubble protocols.

Downtown Pensacola’s T.T. Wentworth Museum is one step closer to a new name, after receiving the state’s blessing to change it.
The Florida Historical Commission approved changing the museum’s name to the Pensacola Museum of History at the University of West Florida.
“The board voted to authorize me to reach out to the state Historic Preservation officer, to see if we could get before the Florida Historical Commission to request the name be changed, that happened,” said Rob Overton, who oversees the UWF Historic Trust.
“I drafted the letter, and the Historical Commission met Friday, Feb. 5,” Overton said. “I participated in that meeting; it was an agenda item that they had [under] new business. They stated our request, fielded some questions, a good bit of discussion, and the Historical Commission approved our request.”
