WA Premier Mark McGowan told reporters on Monday although there have been zero new cases of Covid-19 reported in the state in the past 24 hours, 24 members on board the Al Messilah have tested positive.
Al Messilah is currently docked at Fremantle port.
“These 24 cases numbers will be included in the official numbers tomorrow,” Mr McGowan said.
