Melbourne, Jan 9 (UNI) Tennis star Novak Djokovic was given a vaccine exemption to enter Australia though he was tested Covid positive, the lawyers said.<\/p>\n
In court documents released on Saturday, Djokovic\u2019s lawyers argue the player had been granted a temporary visa by Tennis Australia because of his infection on December 16, according BBC reports.<\/p>\n
On December 17, the tennis ace tweeted a picture of the ceremony where he was honoured with his own Serbian postal stamps.<\/p>\n
He was sent to immigration detention when he landed in Melbourne. He was denied entry to Australia.<\/p>\n
While waiting for final court\u2019s decision, Djokovic\u2019s lawyers have asked permission to move the Serbian from the immigration detention hotel, where he is currently being held, to a more suitable place of detention, BBC reported.<\/p>\n
However, Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said Djokovic would remain at the Park Hotel until a final decision was made.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have managed to make sure gluten-free food is delivered to him, as well as exercising tools, a laptop and a SIM card so that he is able to be in contact with his family,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
