He already had covid twice. He won in court, this time but he may still be kicked out. What's he going around without a mask if he was positive?
Djokovic pictured maskless at public event one day after positive Covid test
Novak Djokovic faced fresh controversy over his attempt to enter Australia to take part in the Open tennis tournament after
pictures emerged on social media of his appearances at public events after a positive Covid test was recorded in mid-December, which allowed him an exemption from the country’s strict Covid rules.
Djokovic has spoken against vaccine mandates but has always refused to say what his own vaccination status is.
He has been kept in a Melbourne hotel since Thursday
after his visa was cancelled due to problems with the medical exemption from vaccination granted by the organisers of the Australian Open.
Djokovic faces decision day on Monday as his appeal against the cancellation of his visa gets under way, after which he could be deported from the country.
According to court documents released on Saturday ahead of the hearing, Djokovic’s Covid-19 infection was recorded by the Institute of Public Health of Serbia on 16 December, which provided the basis for the medical exemption he received from the
Tennis Australia and Victorian state government medical panels. He was granted his exemption on 30 December.
However, pictures on social media of Djokovic attending indoor events without a mask shortly after his Covid-19 test was recorded raise questions about Djokovic’s infection.
On 16 December, Djokovic attended an event
commemorating his own personal stamp. Pictures were posted of Djokovic a day later at the
Tennis Association of Belgrade for an award ceremony.
Djokovic was additionally
pictured on the streets of Belgrade on 25 December despite Serbia’s rules requiring 14 days of self-isolation.
It is not clear if he knew he had Covid when the earlier pictures were taken.
Djokovic
had attended a Euroleague basketball match between Red Star and Barcelona in Belgrade in the days before, during which numerous people present tested positive for Covid-19.
Djokovic’s PR team have told Serbian journalists that they will not be making any statements until after his case.
Since his visa was revoked in the early hours of Thursday morning and he was ordered to leave Australia, Djokovic has been detained in the Park hotel – an immigration detention hotel in Melbourne – as he awaits his hearing.
