LAST MINUTE: Goodbye to the crowds in Melbourne. 19 COVID cases detected in the state of Victoria.

We ran out of audience in the Australian Open 2021. Before the tournament, many days went by without detecting a single case of COVID across the state of Victoria, where Melbourne is located. We just announced that 19 cases have been detected and there could be many more. The Prime Minister of Victoria announces a 5-day statewide lockdown from tonight, so the few audiences allowed in the stadium will be gone from tomorrow and hopefully none of the players still in them. lodges or anyone on the team will test positive. would harm the tournament.

19 active cases of Covid-19 in the state of Victoria. “There are most likely more,” said the Prime Minister of Victoria, who announced a 5-day statewide confinement from 11.59 p.m. this Friday evening.
