WA Premier Mark McGowan to decide today whether to extend Perth's three-day lockdown.
Perth will be subject to extended COVID-19 restrictions past an initial lockdown period of three days, Premier Mark McGowan says.
The West Australian capital and neighbouring Peel region were due to emerge from three days of lockdown at midnight Monday, but Mr McGowan has tempered expectations, and is due to provide an update through the day.
"I'm sure there will be some further measures that continue," he told reporters on Sunday.
"What they are, we won't know until tomorrow morning. We'll get health advice ... and I think people should get used to the prospect that there will be some further measures continued beyond Monday."
The COVID case in Perth is a man who returned from India after being given an exemption to travel there for a wedding.

Other Australians believe that the exemption system is nothing more than a lottery. @eddy_meyer #9News pic.twitter.com/T7rJOjpYlQ
