🇦🇺 Australia is PISSED!!!
Three people in Melbourne hotel quarantine associated with the Australian Open tennis tournament have tested positive for the highly transmissible coronavirus variant linked to the United Kingdom, officials said on Saturday.
@naikarrah oh! No!!! The Indian cricket team was down under this past few weeks :(
@tusker3701
the key here is airports, air planes, and every potential contact in between. in the case of the people for the AU Open, they privately chartered 3 planes for travel to AU.
@tusker3701
as far as i know, the AO *is* on track, unless someone in the quarantine that has not yet tested positive becomes positive during their 14d quarantine..
AU is REALLY stringent about testing and tracking. If your state/territory has border closures/restrictions due to an outbreak in another state/territory, the residents are only allowed ONE contact bubble (household) and the people/address in your contact bubble must be registered with your local NH office.
@naikarrah is the AO on track? Sorry forgot to check, are the big 3 playing?
