What's the point of a three-day lockdown?

What"s That Rash? ·

2021/01/11

On Friday, Greater Brisbane was plunged into lockdown after a worker at a quarantine hotel tested positive to the so-called UK strain of coronavirus. But no other cases emerged during the three-day lockdown, and the region opened up again last night. So what was the point of this lockdown? Was it an overreaction to a single case? Or, given that we know the virus can take up to 14 days to incubate, was it not long enough? Dr Norman Swan and Tegan Taylor are back for 2021 to answer these questions on

2020 saw the rise of coronavirus but it's not going away anytime soon. In 2021, cases and deaths will continue to rise around the world and Australia will have to handle more outbreaks. But 2021 will also bring positives. Vaccines will be given to millions of people, and scientists will discover new things about the virus that's changed the world. So on today's Coronacast - the last one of the year - Dr Norman Swan gives us his list of things to keep an eye out for next year.

How to avoid a super-spreading coronavirus Christmas

What"s That Rash? ·

2020/12/24

If there's one thing we've learnt from coronavirus this year, is that when it appears it happens quickly, by surprise, and is very hard to get back under control. That's why health experts are worried that the gathering of people across several generations in homes across the country give the virus some very fertile infection conditions. The home is one of the riskiest environments, and today's Christmas get-togethers present real super-spreading risks. Which is why Coronacast is here to help

The coronavirus stage in Sydney has been set for Christmas. Restrictions have been relaxed a little and health authorities are hoping that case numbers won't balloon after families get together for festive celebrations. It's a massive balancing act allowing people to try and live their life as normally as possible, but also not giving the virus too much of a chance to take off undetected in other parts of the city. So on today's Coronacast, do we need more Grinch for Greater Sydney, or should the

Four leaks in three weeks - what's going wrong?

2020/12/22

Yesterday, NSW reported eight new community transmission cases of coronavirus with seven of those cases already linked to the Northern Beaches outbreak. The one remaining case's source is still under investigation, but what's known is that it was a healthcare worker who transported a symptomatic family of three from the airport on 14th of December. It's likely the latest leak from the hotel quarantine system, which in the last month has become quite common. Along with the latest case, there was

There was slightly better news yesterday on the Northern Beaches outbreak front when the NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced 15 new cases of COVID. The majority were from people who live in the Northern Beaches, with only four cases from outside the main outbreak area. And add a huge number of tests across the state, and you could be forgiven for thinking that it could be looking up. So is NSW out of the woods? Or was yesterday just one good day before the real trouble starts? Also on

Has NSW's luck run out?

2020/12/20

Throughout the pandemic, NSW has mostly managed to keep a lid on outbreaks without imposing hard restrictions like we saw in Victoria and South Australia. While those states went into various stages of hard lockdown, NSW used a fast, efficient contact tracing system to get on top of things before they got too bad. But with the growing outbreak on Sydney's Northern Beaches showing little sign of slowing down, has that system met its match? On today's Coronacast will NSW need harsher restrictions

What could Sydney's outbreak mean for Christmas?

2020/12/17

A couple of days ago, a COVID-normal Christmas all over Australia was looking pretty sweet, but the rapidly growing cluster in Sydney's Northern Beaches has thrown it into doubt. Yesterday, the cluster grew to 17 people. Aged care homes were locked down, long lines of people queued to get tested and other states considered whether to enforce border restrictions again. So what do we know about the cluster so far? And what does it mean for Christmas?

2020/12/16

Just when you think you've got coronavirus pinned down, it manages to struggle free and throw a few mystery moves in your direction. Late yesterday, NSW Health sent out an alert revealing two people from Sydney's Northern Beaches had tested positive to COVID-19. There are currently no known links, which is a worry as it's been more than a month since authorities have been unable to trace the source of an infection in the community. And if that wasn't enough, a Sydney van driver who was
