Based on the latest health advice, the West Australian Government have announced that from 12:01am Thursday 31 March, most Level 2 measures will be eased back to Level 1, with some modifications based on risk:

Masks

• Masks are required indoors for adults and children in Year 3 and above, other than in the home. The exception is when participating in vigorous exercise (playing volleyball).

Gatherings

• indoor home gatherings limited to a total of 30 people, including household members
• Private outdoor gatherings are limited to a total of 200 people, subject to the two square metre rule if at a private residence;

Density and capacity limits

• Two square metre rule for hospitality venues, nightclubs, convention centres or function centres, with a cap of 500 patrons (for two weeks only)
• Standing service to resume at hospitality venues and nightclubs
• Two square metre rule for fitness venues, entertainment venues, galleries and museums, places of worship, hairdressers and beauty services
• 75 per cent capacity for seated entertainment venues such as theatres and cinemas
• 75 per cent capacity for major stadiums, such as Optus Stadium, RAC Arena, HBF Stadium (main area) and HBF Park
• Two square metre rule for Perth Crown Complex including the gaming floor

Hospitals, aged and disability care facilities

The current higher restrictions in the highly vulnerable settings of hospitals, aged care and disability care will be retained.

• Limit of 2 visitors per resident per day to aged care and disability care facilities
• No visitors to hospitals, except for spouses, parents or carers, birth partners or for compassionate reasons

Community sport

Community sport means organised, community-based team or individual amateur sport played or participated in other than for valuable remuneration but does not include activities in the nature of an exercise class which requires payment or a ticket or other form of registration to participate. Therefore, Volleyball is considered community sport.

• Indoor community sports as per venue requirement and mandatory mask wearing. The exception is when participating in vigorous exercise (playing volleyball).
• Outdoor community sports permitted with no restrictions on spectators.

Proof of vaccination requirements for venues and workers will remain in place; and critical worker, school and childcare test and isolation settings will remain in place as well.
