Western Australian health authorities have come under fire, amid claims they waited almost 12 hours before informing the federal government and other states of its first locally-acquired coronavirus case in almost 10 months.  A Perth quarantine hotel security guard contracted the highly-contagious UK strain of the virus, which sparked a five-day lockdown of the city and the state s Peel and south-west regions until at least Friday. There are fears pandemic protocols may have breached amid reports the security guard visited around a dozen venues across Perth for up to five days while infectious. Questions have also been raised as to why daily testing of quarantine hotel workers was only implemented in WA last Friday, despite a National Cabinet decision to roll out initiative three weeks earlier on January 8.
