Two coronavirus cases reportedly confirmed on Australian Open chartered flight into Melbourne
Two people onboard a specially chartered flight into Melbourne for the Australian Open have tested positive for coronavirus, meaning players travelling with them will be confined to their rooms and unable to train for 14 days.
The flight from Los Angeles to Melbourne arrived yesterday morning, according to a screenshot of an email posted on Instagram by Mexican player Santiago Gonzalez.
Everyone on board will need to isolate and will be confined to their rooms for 14 days, the letter says.
Under quarantine conditions ahead of the grand slam next month, players are allowed out of their hotel room for up to five hours each day to train.
