Open

As of today (March 3rd), Western Australia is open again. For those who are vaxed, no quarantine is required unless there are positive covid tests and symptoms.

The numbers continue to increase but the current prediction is that our peak will be in the next couple of weeks. It seems the vaccination may be helping keep numbers down. There was another death reported today but the hospitalisation rate is quite good. Today there were over 2400 cases reported and I think only 22 are in the hospital.

We do have more restrictions in place now, which limit some events to the point they have been cancelled. I just saw that one of the food truck events will stop running for the rest of the season as the logistics are too hard to work around. The fair we went to last year was also cancelled at some point, which is a shame because we really enjoyed that. But we had a covid free state at the time so things were different.

One thing I have noticed is that the hot spots almost all are outside of the Perth area. I know there are cases locally but it would seem they are worse in some of the country towns. At least that’s my impression.
