Citing medical secrecy, the director of the Australian tennis tournament and head of the Australian Open, Craig Tilly, declined to explain why Novak Djokovic was granted leave. He called the Serb, if he wanted to explain why he got the permit, confirming, indirectly but clearly, that the Serb, due to a medical issue, is justified in not having been vaccinated.
“We fully understand the inconvenience to everyone as Novak’s views on vaccination are well known. However, it is up to him to discuss publicly his situation and the reasons for his exemption. “, said Tiley after the devastation that has been caused and the strong reactions that exist since the announcement of this development.
“We are not in a position, it is not legal, to reveal the reasons and publish medical information.” commented Tiley and continued:
“We have set up a team of independent doctors, epidemiologists, and designed to evaluate any requests for vaccination exemptions. In the applications, medical confidentiality was observed. In other words, no one knew who the applicant was. The applications were reviewed and evaluated and then passed to the second committee, which was set up by the government for further evaluation.
There are several cases that justify an exception, such as an allergic reaction to any type of vaccine. Another case is that you have recently undergone surgery and are suffering from myocarditis. Another case is that you have been ill with Covid for the last six months and can prove it. “All this is evaluated by a medical team and if someone meets the conditions, a medical exception is given”, he concludes.
