Serena Williams Lauds "Intense" Australian Open Protocols

Serena Williams said the health and safety regime around the Australian Open is “strict, but it’s really good." Williams: "Australia right now, the last I heard, they had zero cases of COVID. When we come here in Australia, everyone has to quarantine in a room for 14 days, and it’s insane, and it’s super intense." However, "after that you can have a new normal." She added, "They’re doing it right. It’s definitely hard with a three-year-old to be in the hotel all day, but it’s worth it, because you want everyone to be safe” (“The Late Show,” CBS, 1/25).
