Australian judge Anthony Kelly reinstated tennis star Novak Djokovic’s visa, which was canceled after his arrival last week because he’s unvaccinated.
An Australian judge has reinstated tennis star Novak Djokovic’s visa, which was canceled after his arrival last week because he is unvaccinated.
That would mean mean Djokovic could again face deportation and could miss the Australian Open, which starts on Jan. 17. Australian medical authorities have ruled that a temporary exemption for the vaccination rule can be provided to people who have been infected with COVID-19 within six months. Djokovic has been under guard in hotel quarantine in Melbourne since Thursday, when his visa was canceled.
Lawyers for Home Affairs Minister Karen Andres said in their submission that if the judge ruled in Djokovic’s favor, officials might cancel his visa a second time.
