Djokovic situation gets uglier
Novak Djokovic is claiming in court documents that he tested positive for COVID on December 16. This would be at least the second time Djokovic has contracted COVID, as he and a bunch of other players at an exhibition tournament he organized in May of last year when the ATP tour was shut down contracted COVID.
There are a couple of big issues here:
(1) The new positive COVID test appears to be very convenient under what are or at least were the Australian regulations governing these things, which made it easier for people who had contracted COVID in the last six months to get vaccine exemptions.
(2) Assuming he’s not making it up, Djokovic participated, maskless, in a youth tennis camp on the very next day after he found out he had COVID again.
