Victoria recorded its 13th consecutive day of no new locally acquired COVID cases on Tuesday, but four new cases were detected in hotel quarantine – three of whom are Australia Open participants. More than 70 players – almost one-fifth of those taking part in the tournament – have been confined to their hotel rooms after they were deemed close contacts of people on their charter flights who tested positive to the virus after landing in Melbourne. Other players and their support staff are allowed to train at Melbourne Park, the National Tennis Centre and Albert Reserve courts for up to five hours each day.
