South Australia, New Zealand reopen borders to Western Australia
All Australian states and territories and New Zealand have reopened their borders to Western Australia after a three-day lockdown in Perth.
This afternoon South Australia was the latest to lift the hard border with its neighbour, but people from the Perth and Peel regions will still need to get tested.
They are required to have a coronavirus test on day one, five, and 13 after landing in South Australia.
From midday tomorrow New Zealand will also lift its travel pause with Western Australia.
NZ COVID-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins confirmed the news after Perth successfully completed a snap three-day lockdown without any new local cases.
“Quarantine Free Travel will be recommenced from Western Australia at 12 noon, 28 April 2021 for travellers who have not been identified as contacts,” Mr Hipkins said.
