CORONAVIRUS — ROAD
MAP
850. Hon COLIN TINCKNELL to the Leader of the House representing
the Premier:
Given the Premier's continued reassurance that his
Labor government has a COVID-19 road map in place for Western Australia, can he
confirm whether his road map uses the same modelling that the Victorian Labor government used to generate its road map for
Melbourne; guarantee that Perth will not be plunged into lockdown and put under curfew if there are more than an average of five new COVID cases
statewide over 14 days; and say what threshold rate of infections would trigger
a lockdown and curfew in Perth and/or Western Australia?
