Western Australia will reopen its border to southeastern states after New South Wales health officials dispelled concerns of local CCP virus transmission.

WA Premier Mark McGowan announced on Monday that visitors from NSW and Victoria will be free to visit from midnight without having to quarantine, as the eastern states were reclassified as “very low risk” by his health department.
