The Peninsula
MELBOURNE - Australia's Victoria state has included professional athletes in a vaccination mandate that will require about 1.25 million "authorised workers" to have two COVID-19 shots by the end of November.
Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews announced the health order on Friday as the southern state grapples with an outbreak of the highly infectious Delta variant.
The categories of authorised workers released by the Victoria government include "professional or high-performance sportsperson, workers that support the safe running of that person’s professional sport" and broadcasters.
