The Australian Open has announced that players can continue to participate in the tournament if they have contracted coronavirus.
Therefore testing for the virus is no longer required, according to tournament director Craig Tiley, but he warned players to make the correct decisions regarding their health. “We just wanted to follow what's currently in the community," he said. "We have gone a step further by making a recommendation around staying away when you're ill."
He added: "We've made it clear to our players, as well as our staff, if anyone is feeling unwell, stay home, our medical staff will continue to monitor that, with the players individually as well. It's a normalised environment for us and, not dissimilar to the cricket, there will potentially be players that will compete with Covid-19."
