NSW health minister Brad Hazzard has issued a guarantee that the New Year’s Test at the SCG is not at risk of being moved over the state’s COVID-19 rules.
There was concern the same situation could have cancelled a Test match in Sydney, sparking speculation the MCG could become a safe haven for the series. However, NSW Health issued a statement on Tuesday to “assure the community” that the SCG Test is “not at risk from contact tracing rules”. “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.“If there are any cases within the teams, their support staff, or families, we will work with the people involved to ensure they are safe, and there is as little disruption to others as possible.”
