WA’s delayed border reopening may not make “much difference” to the state’s Omicron outbreak, given the already high level of COVID-19 immunity within the population, says a professor of infectious disease modelling.

The University of Western Australia modelling predicts the state’s outbreak will peak within about two months of the borders reopening.
