Hon. Commissioner Fred Riebeling AM JP said it was important for local residents to keep up the good work.
“It will come as welcome relief for local residents that WA will be moving to phase 3 COVID-19 restrictions from Saturday 6 June. Residents have done an exceptional job of taking COVID-19 seriously and changing their lifestyles to help flatten the curve.
“Even though restrictions are easing, I urge everyone to continue social distancing, practice a high standard of personal hygiene and self-isolate if you are sick.”
