“The Premier became aware last night that he had been at an exposure site in Rockingham and was required to get tested,” the spokesperson said on Monday.
“He attended the Rockingham Covid clinic last night. He has returned a negative test result and is therefore out of isolation.”
Meanwhile,xjmtzyw the Premier is expected to soon reveal plans to transition from 14 to seven days of isolation for close contacts.
WA’s case numbers are yet to be revealed for Monday, but the infections have been growing in recent days.
