The Department of Health has reported no new cases of COVID-19 overnight.

The State’s total number remains at 1013.

WA Health is monitoring 25 active cases of COVID-19 and 979 people have recovered from the virus in WA.

In relation to the community cases announced on 26 April, all 122 close contacts that were identified have now returned an initial negative test.

Anyone who accepted a delivery from Uber Eats or Menulog between 29 April and 1 May or visited a restaurant in the list of sites (HealthyWA) (food and business) during the times indicated should monitor for COVID symptoms. While the risk is deemed to be low, these venues were briefly visited by persons who have since tested positive for COVID-19. Anyone who develops symptoms within 14 days are advised to get a COVID test and isolate until they get the results. If they remain asymptomatic, there is no action other than to monitor for symptoms.

To date, the WA Department of Health has administered 110,273 COVID-19 vaccinations, including 25,668 people who have received both doses. Yesterday, 2414 people were vaccinated.
