AUS vs IND: Masks mandatory for fans at Sydney Test - Cricket News - Sportstar

The Hindu  

Fans attending this week’s third Test between Australia and India at the Sydney Cricket Ground will have to wear masks at all times except when eating or drinking, New South Wales health minister Brad Hazzard said on Wednesday. Hazzard said New South Wales had no option but to impose the measure after health officials in Victoria State said a man who attended the second Test might have contracted COVID-19 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. “I want to stress that Victoria announcing a new case that they don’t yet know the source of at the MCG is obviously influencing our thinking about what we should be doing to keep New South Wales safe,” Hazzard told a news conference. “I know that’s a tough – it’s a tough ask, but it’s absolutely necessary to keep New South Wales residents safe.” Fans from rural areas have been also banned from attending to avoid the risk of them taking the virus back to areas so far unaffected.
