Charges and fines are imposed on more than a dozen people accused of failing to self-isolate, while almost 300 new police officers will enforce the state's COVID-19 response.
The automated cameras will be deployed at regional checkpoints to monitor whether people are authorised to travel through borders, while the trackers will be used to monitor people requested to quarantine or self-isolate.
Those handed on-the-spot fines included a 32-year-old Bindoon woman, a 48-year-old Mount Barker man and a woman from Armadale. The 23-year-old is alleged to have become"increasingly agitated" after being told he would have to stay in isolation in a room at Bunbury Hospital, pending test results.
