Today the State Government mandated that, from 6pm tonight, you must wear a face mask if you visit any indoor public setting in either the Wheatbelt or Great Southern regions.

Here in Wyalkatchem, indoor public settings means all retail shops, including the Hotel & Community Club, the Medical Centre & Hospital, school, museum, Community Resource Centre and the Shire Offices. 

Exemptions to this rule apply and can be viewed via clicking on the following link; https://www.wa.gov.au/government/publications/covid-19-coronavirus-public-health-and-social-measures-perth-peel-and-the-south-west-frequently-asked-questions#exemptions-from-mask-requirements

From tonight, if you travel into other regions from the Wheatbelt or Great Southern, you are still required to wear a mask.

Masks will help slow the spread of COVID-19, help protect local business workers and support the continued operation of these businesses and their ability to provide us with ongoing services. 

Please do the right thing and from 6pm tonight, wear a mask when indoors, in a public place.
