Coronavirus has claimed the life of an elderly Western Australian woman, taking the national death toll to 95. 

The woman, 83, contracted the virus from a close contact and was admitted to hospital in mid-April before she died at home on April 30, Premier Mark McGowan announced on Sunday.

‘It’s heartbreaking to hear another Western Australian has passed away – my heart goes out to her friends and her family,’ he told reporters.

‘It goes to show just how serious and how deadly this virus is.

‘It’s a reminder for all of us – we must continue to take the threat of COVID-19 seriously.’

The woman, who had pre-existing health conditions is the ninth person to die from the virus in WA since Diamond Princess cruise ship passenger James Kwan, 71, became the first Australian fatality from the global outbreak on March 1.

It comes after Western Australia recorded zero cases for the fourth consecutive day on Sunday and two days after some restrictions were eased. 

The two-person limit on non-work activities has been increased to 10 in Western Australia.

Earlier on Sunday, the national death toll increased to 94 after western Sydney woman Ann Fahey, 76, died in hospital on Saturday after her condition deteriorated on Thursday when a nurse found her collapsed on the floor in her room.

She was the 14th resident from Anglicare’s Newmarch House aged care facility to die from the virus in the last three weeks since April 12.

Deputy chief medical officer Nick Coatsworth remains upbeat about Australia’s handling of the coronavirus.

Australia’s toll is relatively small by international standards, as is the number of reported cases at 6787, a rise of 14 in the previous 24 hours.

‘We are looking good,’ Dr Coatsworth told Sky News on Sunday.

He said the concept of elimination of COVID-19 in Australia would be ‘magnificent to achieve’ but challenging to sustain.

‘Which is why we have taken a position of suppression,’ he said.

He said that was why there was extra testing for the virus, the COVIDSafe app to assist contact tracing and increased public health resources.

‘All those things are designed so that if there are small flares of coronavirus, spot fires if you will, that they can be suppressed very, very quickly,’ Dr Coatsworth said.

‘That offers the best balance of getting society back on its feet, confidence back into our society and living with coronavirus until a vaccine arrives.’

Some states have already started to ease restrictions and the national cabinet will on Friday consider lifting some broader curbs.

However, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said relaxing restrictions would depend on Australians signing up for COVIDSafe app, which uses Bluetooth connections to determine who infected people came into close contact with.

Some four million people have registered for the app but the government wants to see millions more by next Friday, a target that Deputy Chief Medical Officer Michael Kidd believes is ‘realistic’.

But he also admitted the app is not yet live and won’t up and running until next week,.

Health officials can not use the data but will be able to trace back from the time when someone first downloaded the app.

Meanwhile, Queensland police were forced to issue more than 30 infringement notices for breaches of COVID-19 restrictions on the first day of easing such curbs.

From Saturday, residents in the state could travel up to 50km from their home to shop, visit a park or even go to the drive-in.
