Australian white-ball captain Aaron Finch and opener David Warner have raised concerns over the effectiveness of the self-isolation policy of the government to tackle COVID-19 pandemic.
The Australian government had announced that anyone arriving in the country from overseas will be forced to self-isolate for 14 days starting Sunday midnight (March 15) in a bid to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.
However, a lot of citizens are confused regarding working of precaution.
An Australian sports journalist Veronica Eggleton tweeted: “Genuine question — how does the government know if new arrivals are actually self-isolating?”
Finch re-tweeted Eggleton’s tweet adding “Have been wondering the same thing!!”
Finch’s remarks prompted a response from teammate Warner, who wrote “Or, what about the uber/taxi/bus/train they catch from the airport to their place.”
Players all over the world are self-isolating. On Monday, Kiwi pacer Mitchell McClenaghan, who was among several foreign players who left the ongoing PSL amid concerns over the affliction, posted a picture of himself self isolating.
“Straight home into isolation, get home to this note from my legendary wife who’s gone to stay with her parents for a few weeks. See you guys in 14 days,” he tweeted.
