Public health measures aimed at COVID-19 have led to significant reductions in respiratory syncytial virus and influenza detections among children in Western Australia during winter 2020, despite schools reopening. Border closures are likely playing a key role in limiting external introductions of respiratory viruses.

We found 98.0% and 99.4% reductions in respiratory syncytial virus and influenza detections, respectively, in Western Australian children through winter 2020 despite schools reopening. Border closures have likely been important in limiting external introductions.
