10:56 pm
he's now in a help hotel and his household contacts have been isolated. now all the people associated with the australian open staying in that hotel have been classed as casual contacts. that means they'll have to isolate until they can return a negative test. so, as things stand, the tournament itself should not be affected by this latest quarantine will play havoc with the six warm—up events currently under way. in a statement, tennis australia said... something that's cause confusion with some of the players. but the fact these tennis stars are here at all has been questioned by the many thousands of australians stranded around the world, unable to return home because of the strict restrictions. i can completely understand how victorians i feel like.
