A baby boy has been diagnosed with Covid in hotel quarantine after arriving in Western Australia from overseas with his parents. The infant is the son of a woman who previously tested positive in hotel quarantine. It comes after WA Premier Mark McGowan said Western Australia will continue to use snap lockdowns to 'crush and kill' coronavirus outbreaks. The state on Friday posted its sixth consecutive day of no new local cases after Perth and Peel went into a long-weekend lockdown. Small businesses in Perth and Peel that incurred direct costs, such as loss of perishable goods, will be eligible for support grants of $2000.
