Melbourne to witness full houses for Boxing Day Ashes Test, 2022 Australian Open after easing of restrictions

Firstpost  

Victoria Premier Dan Andrews said that the state was about to hit 90 percent vaccination, allowing long-standing restrictions to be swept aside, including capacity limits on sporting events. Melbourne: Australia’s Boxing Day Test against arch rivals England and next year’s Australian Open tennis will be played before a full house, Melbourne authorities said Thursday as they removed more pandemic restrictions. How many spectators, if any, would be allowed into the cavernous 100,000 capacity Melbourne Cricket Ground for the third Ashes Test had been up in the air. The first tennis Grand Slam of 2022 is due to start on 17 January at Melbourne Park, which will also be allowed a full capacity crowd.
