However the point of moving the tennis players now, for a tournament taking place from 8th February, is to ensure they are taking appropriate measures.

I'm not saying we shouldn't play football or other elite sport if it's possible to do so safely - I'm just pointing out that JHB can't really point to Australia being a bad example when we opened travel corridors for "high value business travellers" among other things.
