Novak Djokovic has been granted permission to play in the Australian Open. All players and staff at the tournament must be vaccinated or have an exemption. Djokovic has not spoken about his vaccination status, but last year said he was "opposed to vaccination" Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said there should be no special rules. He said Djokovic would be required to present evidence upon arrival that he has a genuine medical exemption from vaccination, or he would be "on the next plane home" The controversy comes as the country is seeing tens of thousands of Covid-19 cases for the first time.
