England's cricket team were cleared to play the second day of the third Ashes test in Melbourne on Monday after two members of support staff and two of their family members were forced to isolate after testing positive for COVID-19.
A team spokesman initially reported only one positive test among a "family group" but host board Cricket Australia confirmed there had been several cases in the camp.
"The entire playing group and all other support staff have undertaken Rapid Antigen Tests this morning and all have tested negative." Hockley also rejected the idea of making changes to the remaining Ashes schedule. The fourth test starts on Jan. 5 in Sydney, where COVID cases have spiked in recent weeks."This is something that we're all having to live with."
