Australia’s Perth at risk of second snap lockdown after new COVID-19 infections

SYDNEY: Australia’s fourth-largest city faces prospects of its second snap lockdown in less than a month, officials warned on Sunday, after a hotel quarantine security guard in Perth and two of his housemates tested positive for COVID-19.
Western Australia (WA) Premier Mark McGowan said the state’s capital city, which last week emerged from a three-day snap lockdown after reporting one COVID-19 infection, was on high alert and a new lockdown was a real prospect.
