A shopper will spend 18 days in jail after he refused to wear a face mask on the first day of Perth's harsh coronavirus lockdown.

The 41-year-old man was outside a shopping centre on the Great Eastern Highway in Midland when he was approached by police officers on Monday.

Police allege the man was not wearing a face mask and asked him to do so, in accordance with the latest restrictions in the city.

Face masks were made mandatory as metropolitan Perth, the Peel region and the South West region were plunged into a five-day lockdown after a hotel quarantine security guard tested positive to Covid-19.
