Three flights from Perth have already landed so far this morning, each plane packed with returnees.
Many told 9News they had not been due to return home for several more days, but decided to leave early after WA Premier Mark McGowan’s announcement yesterday afternoon.
All arrivals are being screened at the airport and sent to quarantine at home for three days.
People who have attended any of those venues listed by Western Australia Health are asked to immediately get tested and self-isolate and follow the evolving public health advice.
But more venues are expected to be added, with travellers urged to keep checking the website.
NSW will reflect the stay at home stay at home restrictions that apply to Western Australia.
People who arrive in Sydney from WA from midnight must complete a declaration that confirms they have not attended a venue of concern.
