Today’s second test match between India and Australia went ahead at the Sydney Cricket Ground today, despite repeated calls for it to be cancelled because of concerns it could be a ‘super-spreader’ event.
A heavy police and security presence, including riot squad, met cricket fans outside the SCG, with numbers well down on previous years.
A limit of 10,000 spectators per day was placed on the match, with strict conditions on seating and the wearing of mandatory face masks.
Residents from 10 Western Sydney suburbs, centred around the Berala outbreak, have been banned from attending the game.
The match is expected to run until Monday.
Part of an ongoing series, COVID-19 Diaries.
