Sydney test not at risk over COVID rules: NSW health minister

The Hindu  

New South Wales health minister Brad Hazzard said on Tuesday that the state's COVID-19 contact tracing rules pose no threat to the fourth Ashes test in Sydney. READ: NSW recorded just over 6,000 new cases on Monday and close contacts are required to isolate for a week, but Hazzard said NSW Health would work with Victorian health authorities to manage any cases so that the next Ashes test can proceed. "The Sydney Cricket Ground test is sacred, an important date at the start of the third year of our life with COVID-19," Hazzard said. "I want to assure the cricket loving public, under our rules any players with exposure to a known case of COVID-19 would be asked to test and isolate only until a negative result was received.
