it seems like a recent positive test IS sufficient, right? This point is still unclear -which is maddening, because it's one of two questions that actually matter: Is this a legal basis for an exemption, and if not, why in the world was he issued a visa and allowed to board a plane? If it is sufficient, did Djokovic's paperwork seem fishy to the ABF (even though it hadn't seemed fishy to the Home Department that issues his visa or the ABF staff that let him on the plane in Dubai)? If it's legal and his paperwork didn't spark suspicions, he should been allowed in, unless there's something else we don't know. Maybe that's not the reason they denied his visa after all. Maybe it was the "wrong visa" technicality.

He got interviewed for 6 hours in the middle of the night and was very polite and professional. Here's the transcript.

The other thing in there is he says he tested positive on NOVEMBER 16 not December 16.

While they may be what he said in that interview, that's not the case. That is around the time he got his Aussie visa, so maybe he was confusing the dates for that. It's December 16th for sure for the positive covid test, that's what his lawyers put in the official court filings, which are widely available if you want to see them.

Someone will have to explain to me how this helps his image?
