Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton believes the risk of unvaccinated international arrivals can be adequately managed through the quarantine system, a point that, if accepted, could allow unjabbed tennis players to take part in the Australian Open in January.
Tennis Australia continues to liaise with both with levels of government and is looking at the most recently completed major, the US Open in New York, as a model for how the Australian Open could be run given that US tennis officials did not implement a vaccine mandate for players.Sources with knowledge of the situation said the scenario planning means they will utilise parts of the way the United States Tennis Association ran the US Open.
But there was no “bubble” for unvaccinated players, allowing them to eat at restaurants, sit at cafes and enjoy nightlife as they pleased.However, that is where the similarities between the two categories of players finished. It’s a model which TA hopes will encourage even more players to be vaccinated before the Australian summer season.
“So if they’re unvaccinated and they’re allowed into the country, then we can manage the risk through that formal quarantine process in hotel quarantine or in a dedicated setting.”
Yet you want to lock out unvaccinated 12 yo kids. Anything wrong with this picture
Let it rip Dan.
NSW smells blood. Is circulating to snap up Victorians 🤣
So is he saying if they catch Covid While there here and working unvaccinated it’s there choice 🤦🏼.Yet Victorians that are unvaccinated lose there jobs 🤦🏼.There is no end to this Government’s double standards for the rich.
Yeah, cos that’s worked well in the past!
If unvaxxed tennis players are willing to pay for and do 14 days quarantine, then heck, why not? Send them to Mickleham, make some money out of that big white elephant
I have another solution for the management of unvaccinated tennis players. Don’t let them in. Why should we pander to brats like Djokovic?
Fair enough if they are masked for the entirety of all matches.
Ah, a fellow comrade.
Brett who ?
