Djokovic has been criticized for organizing the tour. Without many precautions and rules, the Adria Tour always had the risk of contracting the virus. Players and the organizers were moving from place to place attracting huge crowds without much protection.
With testing still going on, the Adria Tour might become a hotspot for the virus. Novak Djokovic’s test result hasn’t been out yet. So Let’s hope everyone is tested cautiously and we have less positive cases.
