When might we see more cases in WA's outbreak? - a podcast by ABC News

When you're in the middle of a coronavirus scare, the sweetest number of all that you want to hear is 0 new cases.

That's exactly what Western Australia's Premier Mark McGowan delivered yesterday, as Perth entered its first full day of a strict lockdown.

It was triggered after a hotel quarantine worker tested positive for COVID over the weekend, ending a 10 month long no community transmission run for WA.

But on today's Coronacast, if it's so serious to plunge a whole city into lockdown, shouldn't we be seeing more cases already?

Also on today's show:

* What happens if you get COVID in between getting your first and second vaccine shot?

* If you've had COVID, can you get vaccinated?

* Is the vaccine I'm given first the only chance I'll get or can I get a different type down the track?
