[QUOTE="kingofnobbys, post: 1978860, member: 81934"] 23 December = DELTA WAVE Day 189 & OMICRON TSUSAMI Day 15 < OUTIDE NSW #3 > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> WA 23/12/2021 WA WA recorded 4 LOCAL cases , WA local total for DELTA WAVE now 5 cases. 2 mystery cases. 0 repats from o/seas. WA recorded 0 delta deaths. ‘It's arrived': Masks in WA are now mandatory, large events cancelled after VOC case bar-hopped in Northbridge .at the weekend while potentially infectious. WA Premier Mark McGowan confirmed the case was a male backpacker who arrived from Queensland on December 12, when no border restrictions were in place. The unvaccinated 25yo man, entered WA just one hour before the border with Queensland tightened to require travellers to self-quarantine when there was only a "handful" of positive cases in Queensland. He has been in WA for 12 days staying in a house in Girrawheen with 4 other people and his girlfriend, who is symptomatic. All are considered close contacts. His housemates were camping near Mandurah and have been contacted by Health WA. The French national felt sick on Sunday and was tested on Wednesday, with the positive result coming through on Thursday morning. It's suspected he has been infectious since December 16. Mr McGowan said the man had been in contact with 100s of people, and was likely infectious with the Delta strain. who went out to restaurants, bars, nightclubs, museums and things ... that's why we're so concerned ... there's been lots of interaction in proximity," he said. "There's lots of people who have potentially been exposed. "If the four campers are positive and they've been all over the place, we'll have to investigate that. "This may be the event that provides us with community spread of the virus, very sadly, and very unfortunately." Since December 16, the backpacker has visited a number of venues including the Scarborough markets and a pub, Mirrabooka Square shopping centre and a number of Northbridge clubs. From 6pm Thursday until 6am December 28, masks will be mandatory indoors in public spaces and high-risk, large events will be cancelled, and nightclubs closed. "We're closing down all the music events ... the Ice Cream Factory and various places, we're saying over the next four days they won't be happening," Mr McGowan said. Close contacts will have to isolate for 14 days and casual contacts must get tested and isolate until a negative result is returned. Mr McGowan said he did not know when the backpacker arrived in Australia or how he was allowed in if unvaccinated. "He's being interviewed as we speak by our contact tracers, our main priority is to find out where he's been," he said. It took contact tracers some time to find the backpacker staying in accommodation in Perth's CBD, which led to a delay in authorities providing information about the case. "They had to use his phone pings to find him ... he was asleep, he's 25 years old, he's a backpacker ... police had to knock on his door and tell him the bad news," Mr McGowan said. Mr McGowan said Christmas church services could continue with masks. Crown would also remain open. However, there are no rules on gathering at homes, meaning Christmas plans can continue. When asked whether people could host 100-person parties Police Commissioner Chris Dawson conceded they could, but he urged the public to use common sense. "If you have a big enough a house you could," he said. "We're just asking people to use common sense in a private setting, but if you go shopping, if you're going to do last minute to buy drinks, etc, you will have to wear a mask." Media got wind of the significant contact tracing operation on Thursday morning after attendees at various nightclubs in the entertainment precinct began receiving text messages instructing them to isolate and get tested. "You have been identified via the SafeWA app as having been at Geisha Bar when a COVID-19 case was present," a message to a Geisha Bar patron read. Perth Mess Hall staff are isolating for 14 days. Geisha Bar updated its Facebook page on Thursday afternoon to say it was working with WA Health. "Hi everyone, we've been contacted by WA Health and we've been informed that Geisha Bar was an exposure site on Saturday night/Sunday morning between the hours of 12 am to 3 am," it said. "We are working with WA health to provide all contact registers, and we are waiting on further instructions." People began arriving at Royal Perth Hospital COVID testing clinic around midday, with lines quickly forming. Authorities said to expect queues and be well-prepared for a wait. Mr Dawson said Department of Communities staff were on hand to help backpackers staying in Perth accommodation that may need to isolate because of the new case. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 23/12/2021 FEDERAL Jetstar and Virgin suddenly cancel dozens of flights on Christmas Eve.etstar and Virgin airlines have caused Christmas Eve travel chaos by cancelling dozens of flights as families around Australia prepare to reunite with loved ones. Hundreds of passengers suddenly found their plans in dire straits as they were notified late on Thursday night of the mass cancellations. Australia's busiest route between Sydney and Melbourne is by far the worst affected with 23 flights between the two capitals cancelled on Friday. Text messages alerting passengers as late as 9pm on Thursday, when many were already in bed before early departures, with the airline's customer service line closing at 10pm. Virgin also made a huge number of cancellations for December 24, with 12 flights between Sydney and Melbourne cancelled. The canned flights include early morning and evening fares, throwing many Australians' Christmas plans into disarray. As many as 13 flights were suddenly cancelled by Jetstar on Thursday, including routes between Sydney and Brisbane, Sydney and Adelaide, and Sydney and Melbourne. The Sydney and Melbourne route was the most heavily-affected, with seven Sydney departures and four Melbourne departures breaking hearts on Christmas Eve. With all direct morning and afternoon flights either sold out or cancelled, passengers were mostly offered replacements that first flew the wrong direction to other cities and landed up to eight hours later than they had booked to arrive. Virgin Australia also cancelled flights on the eve of Christmas with 12 flights grounded between the NSW and Victorian capital. There were a further nine flights cancelled between Sydney and Brisbane, and another 11 stopped between Sydney and the Gold Coast. The common denominator appears to be Sydney, with skyrocketing Covid cases potentially the reason for the major airlines ruining Aussies' Christmas plans. Daily Mail Australia has contacted Jetstar and Virgin Australia to explain why so many flights have been cancelled, reason = crews in iso after being exposed in flight or catching the VOC . >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 23 December = NEW ZEALAND DELTA WAVE Day & OMICRON OUTBREAK <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< NZ recorded 55 LOCAL cases again, NZ local total for DELTA WAVE now 10447 cases. 1 mystery cases. 4 repats from o/seas.
