Mandatory quarantine has had an “amazing” effect in Western Australia, where life has been largely back to normal for six months.
On Newstalk Breakfast this morning, Cork native Nicola Healy offered a snapshot of what could have been for Ireland if borders were closed last summer.
“It has been pretty good,” she said. “We are out, we are able to socialise, meet our friends, go out to shops and have people over to the house and stuff, so yeah, it is a lot different to home at the moment,” she said.
She said Perth locals followed the strict lockdown rules to the letter when they were first introduced – largely because they faced prosecution if they didn’t.
“Those fines are quite intense and it is not just the fines, it was nearly jail time,” she said.
“I think that is why people stuck to the rules – they weren’t going to pay out the money.
“What has really been shown to work here, and the reason we are living such a normal life, is that hotel quarantine.
“I just find that amazing. Anyone that comes in internationally right now is escorted to a hotel – there are different hotels in the city, all the big-name hotels – and they are quarantined for 14 days without leaving the hotel. That is why we have no community transmission as of this evening.”
