A third person, who is not a tennis player but is linked with the tournament, has also tested positive for COVID-19. As of now, a total of seven coronavirus cases have been recorded which includes three tennis players. “The new cases are one female in her 20s and two males in their 30s,” CNN quoted a statement from Victoria’s Department of Human Health and Services (DHHS).
All the positive cases linked to the showpiece event are currently quarantined in a government-managed hotel.
