COVID-19 Update – Shire of Shark Bay

The Shire of Shark Bay continues to follow advice from the Western Australian Department of Health to help keep our community safe and informed.

While COVID-19 is now part of everyday life, it’s still important that we all do our part to protect those around us — especially our older residents, people with health conditions, and those working in health or aged care.

Current Advice for Our Community

  • Stay home if you’re unwell. If you have cold, flu, or COVID-19 symptoms, rest at home until you feel better.

  • Testing is optional but encouraged if you have symptoms and a test is available.

  • Masks are not required, but you may be asked to wear one in hospitals, aged care, or disability care settings.

  • Vaccinations and boosters are still recommended, especially if you’re older or more at risk.

  • Keep up healthy habits — wash or sanitise your hands often, keep spaces well ventilated, and consider physical distancing in busy indoor areas.

Local Services and Support

All Shire facilities and services are open as usual. Please stay home if you’re feeling unwell, and reach out to our team if you need assistance accessing shire services during illness.
