Respiratory syncytial virus detection in children from metropolitan Western Australian up to week 50 of 2020, in the context of COVID-19 restrictions, compared to average epidemic curve (2012–2019). Borders closed – week 12 – international borders closed to all nonresidents; 14-day quarantine required for all arrivals. Period 1 (weeks 14–17): statewide stay-at-home restrictions in place with school holidays extended; borders closed to inter-state travelers (week 14). Period 2 (weeks 18–26): restrictions sequentially lifted, allowing gatherings of 10 (week 18), 20 (week 21), and 100 (week 24) people; schools reopened with increased cleaning and some physical distancing measures. Period 3 (weeks 27–47): majority of local restrictions removed, except the limitation of major sport and entertainment venues to 50% capacity; schools returned to all normal activities. Period 4 (weeks 47–50) relaxation of state border restrictions. Average epidemic curve: 2012–2019. Abbreviation: EYTD, end of year to date.
