WA has recorded no new community transmitted cases of COVID-19 and no new cases in hotel quarantine, Premier Mark McGowan says.

There are 26 active cases in hotels and hospital in the state, Mr McGowan said.

Yesterday the Premier said the state remained in a 'holding pattern" as authorities traced the movements of two food delivery drivers who caught COVID-19 from a housemate who worked in a Perth quarantine hotel.

Despite those cases, Perth and the Peel region avoided being plunged into another snap lockdown, just a week after the last one which was triggered by another case of COVID-19 transmission in a different quarantine hotel.

More to come.
