Bizarre yes. But given the extremely low numbers of Covid deaths Australia has recorded, probably the correct thing to do.

The lockdown was announced that morning. I was surprised the public were allowed in that night in the first place and thought it was a repeat of an earlier match when I turned on on the TV.

I mean, it's not like the virus only comes out from midnight. Surely, they should have said that in the case of the Open no one would be allowed in with immediate effect!
