澳大利亚墨尔本（CNN）诺瓦克·德约科维奇最近从 Covid-19 中康复，获得了参加澳大利亚公开赛的医疗豁免，澳大利亚联邦巡回法院周六公布的文件显示。
事态发展之际，网球世界第一被限制在墨尔本的一个临时拘留所，因为他在比赛前对取消签证提出了绝望的法律挑战。
“德约科维奇先生于 2021 年 12 月 30 日收到了来自澳大利亚网球协会首席医疗官的一封信，信中称他获得了‘免于 COVID 疫苗接种的医疗豁免'，理由是他最近从 COVID 中康复，”该文件说。
根据法庭文件，德约科维奇的第一次 Covid 阳性 PCR 检测记录于 2021 年 12 月 16 日，在没有出现发烧或“呼吸道症状”的迹象后，他后来申请了医疗豁免以参加澳大利亚公开赛。
这些文件已在周一德约科维奇的听证会之前提交给法庭，证实了这位 34 岁的人在 1 月 5 日抵达澳大利亚时未接种疫苗，此前他曾表示反对 Covid-19 疫苗和疫苗规定。 .
在受到澳大利亚边防部队的质疑后，提交的文件指出，根据澳大利亚的《生物安全法》，德约科维奇的豁免被确定为无效，因为他“之前感染 COVID-19 不被视为在澳大利亚接种 Covid-19 疫苗的医学禁忌症”。
在不应使用药物、程序、疫苗或手术的特定情况下，授予“医学禁忌症”，因为它可能对人的健康有害。
根据移民法第 116(1)(e) 条，德约科维奇的签证于当地时间 1 月 6 日凌晨 4 点 11 分被取消，该条“允许在持有人对健康、安全构成风险的情况下取消签证”。或澳大利亚社区的良好秩序，或澳大利亚社区内的个人。”
德约科维奇的律师在提交的文件中辩称，这位九届澳网冠军完全有理由相信他会被允许进入该国，因为他“持有不符合任何相关条件的签证……已获得医疗豁免接种疫苗的证明”来自赛事组织者……并从内政部收到了一份文件，通知他符合免隔离入境的要求。”
Novak Djokovic was granted vaccine exemption after testing positive for Covid-19 in December, court documents show
Melbourne, Australia (CNN)Novak Djokovic was granted a medical exemption to compete in the Australian Open as he had recently recovered from Covid-19, documents published on Saturday by Australia's Federal Circuit Court show.
The development comes as the tennis World No. 1 is confined to a temporary detention facility in Melbourne as he mounts a desperate legal challenge against the cancellation of his visa ahead of the tournament.
"Mr Djokovic had received, on 30 December 2021, a letter from the Chief Medical Officer of Tennis Australia recording that he had been provided with a 'Medical exemption from COVID vaccination' on the grounds that he had recently recovered from COVID," the document said.
Djokovic's first Covid-positive PCR test was recorded on December 16, 2021, and after not showing signs of a fever or "respiratory symptoms" he later applied for a medical exemption to compete in the Australian Open, according to the court filing.
The documents, which have been submitted to the court ahead of Djokovic's hearing Monday, confirmed the 34-year-old -- who has previously voiced opposition to Covid-19 vaccines and vaccines mandates -- was unvaccinated when he arrived in Australia on January 5.
After being questioned by the Australian Border Force, the submission states that Djokovic's exemption was determined to be invalid under Australia's BioSecurity Act because his "previous infection with COVID-19 is not considered a medical contraindication for Covid-19 vaccination in Australia."
A "medical contraindication" is granted in specific situations where a drug, procedure, vaccine, or surgery should not be used because it may be harmful to a person's health.
Djokovic's visa was then canceled on January 6 at 4:11 am local time, under Section 116(1)(e) of the Migration Act, which "allows for the cancellation of a visa where the holder poses a risk to the health, safety or good order of the Australian community, or to an individual within the Australian community."
Djokovic's lawyers argued in the submission that the nine-time Australian Open champion had every reason to believe he would be granted entry into the country as he "held a visa unqualified by any relevant condition ... had received certification of a medical exemption from vaccination from the tournament organizer ... and had received from the Department of Home Affairs a document informing him that he met the requirements for quarantine-free arrival."
