When it became clear that Badosa was infected, she deleted her tweets about the "injustice" in the treatment and told about her symptoms.

"I feel bad and have some symptoms but I try to get well as soon as possible and listen to the doctors' prescriptions", the 23-year-old writes in a statement and says that she was moved to a so-called health hotel where the infected are taken to avoid interfering with players quarantined in regular hotels.

17 chartered planes to Melbourne

Badoda came with a plane from Abu Dhabi this weekend when 17 chartered planes brought players, leaders and the general public to Melbourne.

If one of the passengers tested positive, all players and leaders on the plane were forced to go into strict quarantine for two weeks in hotels where they are not allowed to leave the rooms.

If no one on the plane tested positive, normal quarantine with up to five hours of training on the runways applied.

A dozen players have tested positive for covid-19, according to the AP.

The tournament starts on February 8, three weeks late due to the pandemic.
