A man who went to India for his own wedding before returning to Australia and sparking a COVID-19 outbreak in Western Australia was able to prove "profound" reasons for travel, according to Health Minister Greg Hunt.
Perth was plunged into a three-day lockdown on Friday after community transmission was linked to a man who returned from India, which is in the middle of a destructive spike in COVID-19 cases and deaths.
The man arrived in Perth from India on April 10 with his new bride. He tested positive at the Mercure Hotel three days later.
