The Australian Open, a major tennis tournament to be held from the 8th of next month, is already suffering from the aftermath of Corona 19.



More than 70 athletes who need to be trained have been quarantined in hotel rooms.



Heather Watson of England, 58th in the world ranking, swings a racket in a hotel room, not a court.



This is because it was confirmed that he was on the same plane as the corona19 confirmed person and was quarantined in a hotel room for two weeks.



According to Reuters, a total of nine confirmed cases have been reported so far from three of the 17 charter flights that the tournament organizer has launched for athletes, coaching staff, and officials, and the Australian quarantine authorities have given 72 athletes on the same plane for two weeks To stay only.



All athletes participating in this competition will self-isolate for two weeks after entering the country, but they can train for 5 hours a day at the designated training ground even during the quarantine period, but players with close contact cannot go out at all.



Although complaints from players have erupted and controversy over equity is rising, the quarantine authorities are in a strong position.
