Australian Olympic athletes returning from Tokyo to South Australia via Sydney will be forced to undergo a double quarantine of 28 days, a mandate that has been described as 'cruel and uncaring'

Australian Olympic athletes returning from Tokyo to South Australia via Sydney will be forced to undergo a double quarantine of 28 days, a mandate that has been described as"cruel and uncaring" by the country's Olympic Committee.

The athletes are currently undergoing two weeks of quarantine in Sydney as part of the country's travel rules. But those making the onward journey to their home state of South Australia will have to comply by restrictions on inter-state travel and complete an extra two weeks of quarantine in the South Australian capital of Adelaide.In a statement on Wednesday, the Australian Olympic Committee condemned the four-week quarantine for some of the team's athletes.

The virus is much more cruel and uncaring

I’m in South Australia, there’s an out of control outbreak of Delta in NSW. The AOC were told weeks ago of the extra quarantine for athletes travelling thru Sydney but the athletes were only told yesterday. Those that traveled thru Darwin don’t have the extra quarantine.

Thank god I live in America. Absolutely insane

Punaise et dire que en France ils sont tous au Trocadéro

Hahaha

It is cruel and uncaring. Our South Australia Olympic athletes were blindsided too...

Your country has had more deaths to COVID than WW1 and WW2 combined. You don't get an opinion.

Misleading headline CNN. They were flown into Sydney in the grip of a major delta outbreak. Q for 14 days, then on to a state with ZERO cases. They want it to remain ZERO. Transitting thru airport etc with major outbreak doesn't inspire confidence that they're all ok.

28 days ! Surpassed the Philippines 10 days quarantine upon arrival at the airport at a designated hotel. Is there science to this ?

Here, in Brazil, President Bolsonaro, welcoming Venezuelan immigrants, established an air operation called 'Welcoming', distributing Venezuelans in all states of the country. The name of Biden's air operation sending immigrants to Texas should be called: 'Making Texas Democrat'.
