Two more Australian Open tennis players have tested positive for Covid-19 after arriving in Melbourne, state health officials said on Tuesday.
It comes after a player was believed to have tested positive on Sunday, amid growing controversy over the event.
One more “non-playing participant” also has Covid, bringing the overall total linked to the Open to seven, including a flight attendant.
Some 1,200 people have flown in for the tournament, which begins on 8 February.
