The Australian coach was severely fined for violating epidemic prevention rules
Coach Graham Arnold tested positive for COVID-19 on March 17 and according to New South Wales state regulations, he is required to isolate for at least 7 days.
However, on March 20, this coach still took a bath at Narrabeen beach to soothe his allergies. Despite having a negative test result, the 58-year-old strategist was fined 25,000 Australian dollars (about 423 million VND) because this is an act that violates the State’s Public Health Regulations.
“I sincerely apologize for violating state health regulations. I agree that I should not have left the house during self-isolation and will not repeat the offense until the end of this time, as well as paying the fine. full,” said coach Graham Arnold.

Arnold needs to have a negative PCR test result before he can join the team on March 24, the same day of the match against Japan. Before the second leg against Vietnam on January 27, he was also infected and had to let his assistant Rene Meulensteen direct instead. The incident will greatly affect the preparation for the last two vital matches of the Australian team in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
Australia has 15 points, third behind Japan (18 points) and Saudi Arabia (19 points). They need to win the remaining 2 matches against Japan (home, March 24) and Saudi Arabia (away, March 29) to be sure of tickets to Qatar at the end of this year.
