The AFL grand final will proceed as planned, despite Premier Mark McGowan revealing a startling new COVID case on Friday.

Another coronavirus scare has emerged in Western Australia but the AFL grand final in Perth has been given the green light to go ahead as planned.

Authorities on Friday revealed a woman who flew into Perth from NSW without a valid travel pass earlier in the week had tested positive. She was rejected entry to WA and directed to hotel quarantine where her infection was confirmed.

Premier Mark McGowan said the flight's other passengers were all in quarantine and the infection was not expected to impact Saturday's grand final.
