Hi all,

Dear UWA Students,
The WA Premier today lifted the COVID-19 lockdown to the Perth metropolitan, Peel and South West regions, effective from 6pm this evening pending no further local cases of COVID-19 today. A range of precautionary restrictions and health measures<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftheuniversityofwesternaustralia.newsweaver.com%2F10vv51er7f%2F185nxlyxgmglhntbqj4zuh%2Fexternal%3Femail%3Dtrue%26a%3D5%26p%3D6534405%26t%3D2667769&data=04%7C01%7C21954943%40student.uwa.edu.au%7C1d71ff2b71cf42abe9f708d8c9ba89d8%7C05894af0cb2846d8871674cdb46e2226%7C1%7C0%7C637481150307989147%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=exTzIA6spd7Gyice%2FvEWMka3lNirqnZDPfBxhI41JNY%3D&reserved=0> are required during the post-lockdown transition period until 12.01am, Sunday 14 February including the compulsory wearing of masks.

* The WA Government’s advice<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftheuniversityofwesternaustralia.newsweaver.com%2F10vv51er7f%2F1l66zto9stwlhntbqj4zuh%2Fexternal%3Femail%3Dtrue%26a%3D5%26p%3D6534405%26t%3D2667769&data=04%7C01%7C21954943%40student.uwa.edu.au%7C1d71ff2b71cf42abe9f708d8c9ba89d8%7C05894af0cb2846d8871674cdb46e2226%7C1%7C0%7C637481150308009135%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=%2F7R3yTwpmgFj9j4ZSzwRgk3tIIPj5fEH0byQqt5QKl0%3D&reserved=0> is that the four square metre rule applies to hospitality, entertainment, public and fitness venues. As such, it does not apply to the majority of campus facilities such as offices, teaching venues and research spaces. Nonetheless, it does apply at some venues around campus, (such as UWA Sport and the libraries) and you should take your instruction from those venues. All students, staff and visitors to the campus who attend these venues will be required to wear masks and comply with venue safety requirements.
* Travel outside the Perth metropolitan and Peel regions for study or research purposes is not permitted, unless an exemption has been approved by your Head of School. HDR students are encouraged to seek advice from your supervisors about the best way to continue your work during this transition.
* Perth Festival 2021 is rescheduled to start on 15 February and extended by two weeks until 14 March. Lotterywest Films at UWA Somerville will reopen on Monday 15 February. All visitors to the campus to attend events will be required to wear masks.
* Don’t come to campus if you are unwell or in isolation awaiting test results. If you have symptoms please stay home, get tested and follow health advice.
