Coronavirus Australia live updates: West Australian Premier Mark McGowan muffles laughs during press conference as Qantas, Virgin to provide rescue flights

It's been a hard week for Aussies including the West Australian premier, who couldn't contain himself after hearing who NSW was fining.

West Australian Premier Mark McGowan has struggled to contain himself after hearing a man in NSW was fined for eating a kebab "mid-run".

Towards the end of his daily coronavirus press conference this afternoon, the premier was asked if Western Australia would be enforcing similar social restrictions.

"I find it hard to believe someone was going for a run and then stopped for a kebab," he said, giggling at his answer. "In any event, they do things very differently in NSW."

Mr McGowan continued to struggle through the rest of his sentence, even causing his sign language interpreter to break into fits of laughter.

"There's nothing wrong with going for a run and having a kebab but…I don't think there's anything wrong with…we're not making it unlawful to go for a run and eat a kebab.

"It's whether or not you're in a group," he ended.
