Two more men have been arrested and charged in separate incidents after allegedly failing to wear a mask during WA’s five-day lockdown.
A 51-year-old Beaconsfield man and a 46-year-old Bunbury man were both charged after they declined to wear a free face mask offered to them by officers.
Most people in WA have accepted wearing a mask – but there have still been several arrests.
