Tennis star Novak Djokovic can stay in Melbourne until at least Monday, an Australian federal court said in an interim ruling Thursday.
The tennis star launched a legal challenge against the cancelation of his visa by border authorities for failing to provide sufficient proof for a medical exemption from receiving the Covid-19 vaccine. The interim verdict comes after Djokovic’s legal team appealed the cancelation of his visa before the Federal Circuit Court in Melbourne on Thursday afternoon.
