[Archyde.com]–Italian sports minister Betsari said on the 17th that Novak Djokovic (Servia), a men’s tennis player who has been attracting attention due to unvaccinated new coronavirus, is not required to be vaccinated in the country’s outdoor competition. , He said that he would be allowed to participate in Italy International.
Djokovic, who was unable to participate in the Australian Open (OP) in the first round of the four major tournaments due to non-vaccination, is ready to miss the French Open and the Wimbledon Championship if vaccination is mandatory.
“It’s an outdoor competition, so you don’t need a strict green pass (certificate). If Djokovic wants to come and play in Italy, he can do that, probably not in a hotel or restaurant,” Betsari said in a libero newspaper. “.
Earlier this month, the Italian government lifted the obligation to wear masks outdoors under most circumstances as the infection with the new coronavirus improved.
Italy International will be held in Rome from May 2nd to 15th. In last year’s tournament, Djokovic lost to Australian Open champion Rafael Nadal (Spain) in the final.
