“Each household will be subjected to risk,” McLachlan told a media conference at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday.

“We’ll be really tough on that now it’s been established that the protocols are part of the rules and we’ll be as transparent as we can about the accountability of those.

“This will also apply for umpires and key matchday staff once the season resumes”.
