Australian Olympic chiefs blast "cruel and uncaring" quarantine protocols

Some returning stars from Tokyo face upto 28 days in quarantine

The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) has labelled the government of South Australia "cruel and uncaring" for imposing an extra two-week quarantine for athletes returning via Sydney from the Tokyo Games, meaning 28 days of quarantine in total.

The additional quarantine requirement for athletes currently isolating in Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, comes on top of the two weeks mandated for all arrivals from overseas.
