Doesn’t work like that here.For example the Indian cricket team and Aus Open tennis players can’t compete in the quarantine period.There is only 1 state in Australia that would even allow the cricket team to do limited training under even the strictest protocols during quarantine period.
Compare that to a major Rugby League match here next week where the stadium spectators can be at 100% of 50,000 capacity
It is just not workable.The rest of the world might be ok with the way F1 are doing it but Australia is not.Yes zero transmission is ambitious but we are close to achieving it and no one here wants to risk it.
