WA's latest COVID-19 update came as 6PR Mornings host Simon Beautmon, in for Liam Bartlett, detailed the plight of South Hedland mum “Zakiesha”, who had a private rental that was terminated when COVID hit, leaving her, her partner and three young children homeless.

"Because it's unsafe to sleep in the town, we sleep in the bush, near the river, tents and swag, a three-man tent between the whole five of us," she said.

She was forced into emergency accommodation for seven days until Friday due to quarantine requirements after one of her kids contracted COVID, and just wants to be able to put a roof over her family's head.
