The WA premier is determined to avoid any coronavirus spread as the Vasco da Gama arrives in Fremantle

At least 800 people will be quarantined on Rottnest Island in Western Australia when a cruise ship carrying 1,500 people arrives in Fremantle on Friday.

But the details of their quarantine – including how those people will be fed, where they will be housed and what will happen to the island’s 100 permanent residents – are yet to be finalised.
