The WA Health Department has confirmed a positive COVID test result has been returned from a person within the community on day one of Perth's snap lockdown.
Key points:
- The person had eaten at the Kitchen Inn in Kardinya
- The Premier had earlier announced no new cases were found
- A number of restaurants have now been deemed "higher risk" sites
The man in his 40s presented for a COVID-19 test yesterday as he had gone to one of the locations visited by the COVID-positive Victorian case.
Perth is in a three-day lockdown after a traveller spent five days in the community while infectious.
"The person is now working closely with the Department's contact tracing team to determine public exposure sites," a WA Health Department statement said.
"Even if you have not visited one of the locations, if you have symptoms, get tested and self-isolate until you get your result.
"Do not be complacent. It is imperative you always follow the public health instructions."
The lockdown was announced on Friday after a 54-year-old Victorian man tested positive for the virus after completing 14 days of hotel quarantine in Perth.
