Restrictions ease in Perth and Peel after WA records no new COVID-19 cases
Restrictions in Perth and Peel have eased as planned from today after Western Australia recorded no new coronavirus cases yesterday.
Masks are still mandatory indoors but not outside where physical distancing is possible or when undertaking vigorous exercise.
"People should still use common sense and take a mask with them whenever they leave home," Premier Mark McGowan said.
"There will be a 30 person limit in all homes, all indoor private gatherings and a 150 person limit for outdoor private gatherings.
"Higher capacity will be allowed in venues."
