No special treatment! Australia Says "No" to Tennis Stars Calling for Changes in Quarantine Measures

22-01-2021

According to Reuters, since there were no new cases in Australia for another day, the Australian authorities stated that it is necessary to impose a 14-day compulsory quarantine in the hotel for those who come to participate in the Australian Open. This is very important to contain the new crown pneumonia epidemic. .

Some of the world's top tennis players who came to the competition questioned this requirement, including the world's number one Novak Djokovic. The athletes suggested that between now and the start of the Australian Open on February 8, they should be arranged for isolation in a residence equipped with a tennis court.


But Victoria’s Premier Daniel Andrews told the media: “Everyone is free to make claims, but the isolation measures will not change as a result. They know where they are going, and we will not provide shortcuts or special arrangement."

After three Australian Open charter flights landed and tested positive for the new crown virus, more than 70 players and their entourage were placed in hotels for isolation. The state of Victoria said on Tuesday that they found four new confirmed cases among quarantined people, but they did not count community transmission.


In 2020, in order to fight the second wave of the new crown epidemic, Victoria experienced a months-long blockade. As Australia's second most populous state, Governor Andrews is facing heavy pressure.


In neighboring New South Wales, Hollywood actor Matt Damon received a hotel quarantine exemption after arriving in Sydney, the filming location of the Thor sequel. It is believed that Matt Damon arrived in Australia by private jet and will be quarantined for 14 days in a secured rental room and will pay for hospital-level cleaning services during the period.


Although the number of new cases per day has remained at zero or single-digit levels, the Health Department stated that Australia is unlikely to fully open its international borders in 2021.
