Be COVID-prepared when you travel
Be COVID-prepared when you travel
30 September 2022
With people planning to see family and friends over the
spring school holidays, it is important to be prepared and follow current COVID-19 public health and social measures to help
keep everyone safe.
If you plan to travel, think about what you will do if you test positive for COVID-19 or
become a close contact while you are away.
Remember to pack:
- rapid antigen tests (RATs)
- face masks
- hand sanitiser
- tissues
- thermometer
- electrolytes
- proof of vaccination
If you develop COVID-like symptoms or become a close
contact while you are away, get tested at once – RATs are a safe, convenient, quick choice, particularly
if you are in regional or remote WA.
WA households are eligible for another 20 free nasal RATs.
Each household in WA can collect free rapid antigen tests from metropolitan drive-through collection points,
COVID-19 vaccination clinics, the Perth Royal Showgrounds, and regional COVID-19 testing clinics.
Save important phone numbers to your
mobile phone before you leave:
- 13 COVID (13 268 43)
- your GP or medical clinic
- HealthDirect (1800 022 222) if you do not have a GP in WA
- phone numbers of family, neighbours, or other support networks.
