Novak Djokovic has taken to Instagram to issue a statement correcting “misinformation” about his movements after testing positive to COVID-19.

The world number one has apologised for providing incorrect information on his travel declaration.

Earlier this week, Djokovic’s family abruptly ended a press conference when asked whether the tennis star knowingly mingled with children without a mask at an event the day after he tested positive.

Djokovic claims a rapid test before attending the tennis event was negative and he hadn’t received his PCR result yet.

“I had not received the notification of a positive PCR test result until after that event,” Djokovic said in the statement.

He admitted to attending an interview and photoshoot on December 18, while knowingly positive for COVID-19. He says “this was an error of judgement”.

Questions have been raised about a travel declaration completed by an agent for Djokovic, with social media posts seemingly showing he was in Belgrade on Christmas Day before flying to Australia from Spain.

Djokovic also apologised for mistakes on his travel declaration form, blaming his support team for ticking the wrong box about his travel before arriving in Australia.

“This was a human error and certainly not deliberate,” he said.

Lawyers representing the 20 time grand slam winner have submitted additional documentation relating to the case.
