Olympians face double trouble

A DECISION by the South Australian Government to make returning Olympians to the state isolate for a second time has been labelled “cruel and uncaring” by the Australian Olympic Committee.

The fully vaccinated athletes, who have already quarantined in Sydney hotels on arrival from Japan, will now have to stay at home for 14 days so the SA Govt can be doubly certain the Delta strain does not enter the state.

“While other countries are celebrating the return of their athletes, we are subjecting ours to the most cruel and uncaring treatment,” AOC Chief Executive, Matt Carroll said.
