World number one Djokovic, who has not been vaccinated against COVID-19, was deported from Australia on Sunday before the first Grand Slam tournament of the year after losing a court case to have the cancellation of his visa overturned.
France's vaccine pass law, approved by parliament on Sunday, will require people to have a certificate of vaccination to enter public places such as restaurants, cafes, cinemas and long-distance trains."The rule is simple. The vaccine pass will be imposed, as soon as the law is promulgated, in establishments that were already subject to the health pass," the ministry said.
"This will apply to everyone who is a spectator or a professional sportsperson. And this until further notice. "Now, as far as Roland Garros is concerned, it's in May. The situation may change between now and then and we hope that it will be more favourable. So we'll see, but clearly there's no exemption."
Serbian Djokovic, who was barred from bidding to win a record 21st Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, has refused to vaccinate and was criticised for attending public events last month after testing positive for the coronavirus.Reporting by Julien Pretot; Editing by Ed OsmondSubscribe to our daily curated newsletter to receive the latest exclusive Reuters coverage delivered to your inbox.

Djoko stay home that's it
So France has officially sunk to Australia's level. This is a new low. Only one floor above China now.
Best news of the day .. his anti vax ass can cry some more
Good....
No French Open for Novax Djokovid? Awwww
Acosta It’s going to take him a year to catch up his vaccines. He gambled and he lost.
Bon
Acosta The vax does not stop infection. It does not stop transmission. Only masks that protect you a little are N95s. These are verifiable facts now recognized. Reuters is propaganda and your governments are enslaving all of you.
Acosta Good
Dude is really throwing away his whole career over having to show a little bit of compassion to his fellow humans. Actions have consequences and it's lovely to witness.
Good. Ban this liar from every tournament for life.
Excellent.
devisridhar *sad trumpet*
devisridhar 😂
This isn't about health but compliance... Vaccinated people can also get infected and transmit the virus. Same viral load as unvaccinated ppl, if they get Covid they won't get sick, hospitalized or die.. so how are unvaccinated ppl a danger to those who are vaccinated?
how much did pfizer pay you for saying We know that a week after administration of a fourth dose, we see a five-fold antibody... This most likely means a significant increase against infection and ... hospitalisation and (severe) symptoms
Shameful.
He must not conform to these tricks... freedom of choice must prevail
Well, it looks like most people wanted to see Djokovic in the Australian Open regardless of his vaccination status, I agree with them how can it be a valid competition without the defending champion? Now both French & AUS are just second rate tournaments.
Grand Slams should only be played in countries that allow ALL players to play. Centralize all of them to Dubai or something. It’s ridiculous that the BEST TENNIS PLAYER in the World is not playing and doesn’t even have Covid. Pathetic and bullying by the establishments
I’m confused how your vaccination status is a reflection of your athletic skills?
living up to his name, NoVak. Serbs him right.
Pathetic, all these dupes and quislings of a corporate fascist deception, a pack of laughing hyenas nipping at the legs of a lion. Djokovic
Fantastic especially for such an entitled know it all who thinks he is above everyone
F- France too then. He refuses to take a vaccine that doesn't work to prevent him from catching an illness he already had. You can't make this stuff up folks. They are putting the Stupidity in Science.
Perfect.
Yes I hope the French will stick with that.
Good.
I guess we’ll find out how far he’s gone down the rabbit hole.
Good.
No freedom france
Don’t take the vaccine!No one should be force to take if they don’t want it!
This is not true Reuters under the present vaccine pass he will be granted because he recovered under 6 months. Please correct your title. Whatbthe minister said isnhe will need a pass and he will get it. It is less than 6 months from 16dec to 5jun when RG ends.
Another tournament that is pointless now if the best player isn't allowed to play.
Welp!
😂😂😂
In any other instance this would be called coercive measures to get consent. But it seem the world is cool with it. Is
That will Teach The anti vaxxers no longer can they play tennis 🎾 🤣
At this rate,the only grand slam that he’ll be eligible to play at will be Wimbledon
Adieu Mon Ami
An absolutely right decision by France.
🤯
Whoever made conspricy on vaccine is genuus
If we change from pandemic to endemic, does he still need a vaccine?
Will he submit the documents saying he just gets COVID19 again?
The Pfizer CEO said the vaccine is useless against Omicron now. What are we even doing here?
No Vac
No vaccine, no career. Isn’t this the consequences of your own actions DjokerNole ?
Let's now see whether his $$$ is where his mouth is.
This makes no sense. The vaccine does nothing to stop transmission or spread. Trust the science
How about to leave him alone? Nobody knows the real reason why he is not vaccineted, so pls stop it! He was abused enough in last 10 days.
Can't he give PCR samples every 5 days instead? I mean, he has the money to be tested regularly!
🥲
Covidle Mücadele Bu. Aşı Yoksa Maç da Yok. Duydunuz mu drfahrettinkoca Avrupada Durum Bu!?
He got what he really deserves Unvacinated one are not welcome anymore!
King 👑
Imagine this Gronk doesn't become the greater Grand slam player of all time purely because he's an idiot
excellent work by both the french and australian govt these anti vaxxers should get the vaccine asap
No vac, he says.
QuiqueGodoy Terror contra la libertad y la inteligencia.
Best to be clear about the parameters, ahead of time.
New trouble ahead for Djokovic
What would justify a pass for this brat when most of the world have made considerable efforts for two years by undergoing confinement restrictions and participating in the national effort by vaccinating ourselves? Nothing We are all housed in the same boat
Vaccines don't work!! 💉=☠️
_BenFinnegan Their laws respect them
Without Djokovic there is no point of any important tennis tournament.
Vaccines open doors! Been that way for many, many years. It’s a public health thing, not an individual right.
Good decision.
annikasmethurst At least the French have given an unequivocal warning.
I love the French ❤️
Silly, given natural immunity is superior to these waning vaccines.
I used to be a rafa fan. thus, i had no admiration for Djockovic. But, considering what Djockovic endured last week and his attitudes toward damned vaccines, i think i'm becoming a Nole fan.
Well it seems clear now...no vaccine no Number 1 spot.
Good.
Excellent. So rich spoiled brats don’t always get away with breaking the rules.
This targeting won't work.
The Aus Govt lawyer's main argument is that Djokovic may become 'an icon of free choice'. To be clear: it's confirmed that Novak didn't break any rules & had valid exemption was approved by independent medical panel He was deported for a thought crime BoycottAustralianOpen
Klaus Schwab rules!
wm_milena 😂😂😂😂😂 Bye Djokovic
🤣🤣🤣
Nidhi Meanwhile. Thousands gather in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. in a spectacular demonstration against vaccine mandates and COVID tyranny. (Few days ago)
The same France that lets illegal immigrants(are they checked for vaccinations?)in and lets/helps them getting to the UK so its no longer their problem anymore?
CherylCritchley ✔️🦁
Nidhi Bullying! stopbullying DjokerNole
Nidhi DjokerNole please have vaccines. Don't fear in taking it. we (Indian) would like to see you on court with bravery as like before.
Brainless discrimination and human rights violation at its best. Vaccines work, right = vaccinated people are protected = unvaccinated person can never pose a threat to the vaccinated herd.
Quickly becoming isolated over an anti-vaxxer view. He had it coming.
wtf
Lovely timing to do this when you have 20 slams…Well done
Good
Nidhi If the vaccine doesn’t stop the spread,why punishing the unvaccinated ? A Holocaust Survivor says history is definitely repeating, the UNWAXXED are being treated like the Jews.
eduardovirgala A MORO MUERTO, Sig. Gran lanzada, asegura el dicho. Que oportunista de merde, este Macron. Tiene Djokovic algún problema sanitario, con peligro para terceros? No. Luego no va de Sanidad, va de TERQUERIA del poder, que se pone la venda antes de tener herida. Mal quedas, Macron.
Unfair decision...If Djokovic was a citizen of p5...he wouldn’t have to face it.
Nidhi Sochna bhi Mt idhar Utharne ki tera Nataka nahi Chalega Djokovic
at this point even if he gets vaccinated people will say serbian gov faked it LOL
Makayeke, once!
Go home Djokovic .. Take rest.... Finally Forget tennis.. First practice a law abiding citizen in yourself and comeback.
The number of people laying down for tyranny is horrifying. The dude has had Covid twice. He has the same immunity as a vaxx’d person. This is simply a strong arm of govt. in no way rooted in Science.
As an ambassador of the sport and someone a lot of people look up to, like it or not your decision influences and affect many people, thus it is quite irresponsible on DjokerNole to insist on this path!! cnnbrk BBCBreaking AJEnglish
As far as I know if you are entering france from EU territory all you need is a negative pcr test that's less than 24h old. So that's bs.
MayaLisal
australian court ruled he has no covid limitations. so that's political trick
antivaxxers are having tantrum over this tweet! LOL I love it!!! 😍👍🏼 Get your jabs 🤡
Consequences.
France's vaccine pass law , approved by parliament on Sunday , will require people to have a certificate of vaccination to enter public places such as restaurants , cafes , cinemas and long - distance trains .
The domino effect. 😭
Let see what the situation is at that time. Things may change once again…
FORCED VACCINATION IS AGAINST HUMANITY YES READ THAT AGAIN
Ha ha … bummer!
disgusting
Amazing these people who like to think they are somehow superior to the rest of us, live in their own bubble and think people need their opinions.
Tired of his news already
