Police have located an overseas traveller who fled from a quarantine hotel in Perth without completing COVID-testing requirements.

Jenny Maree D'ubios breached her quarantine requirements and absconded from the hotel.
"Jenny is deemed a risk as she arrived in Western Australia from overseas and has not yet completed her 14-days quarantine or COVID testing requirements," police said in an earlier statement.

The 49-year-old was carrying a case and a number of bags when she was seen walking on Adelaide Terrace in Perth about 10.20am on Saturday.

The police earlier warned that anyone involved in assisting Ms D'ubios in committing the quarantine breach could face "significant penalties".
A later statement provided by police said they had located Ms D'ubios. 

"Thank you for all your assistance in this matter," the statement read.

The news comes as six new coronavirus cases were reported in Western Australia, all of them in hotel quarantine.

Four women and two men tested positive with all cases related to overseas travel, WA's Department of Health said on Saturday.

It brings the number of active cases in the state to 13.

The total number of COVID-19 infections recorded in Western Australia is 854, with 832 people having recovered.

A total of 452 people visited coronavirus clinics in the state on Christmas Day.

People in Australia must stay at least 1.5 metres away from others. Check your jurisdiction's restrictions on gathering limits. If you are experiencing cold or flu symptoms, stay home and arrange a test by calling your doctor or contact the Coronavirus Health Information Hotline on 1800 020 080.
