Australian white-ball captain Aaron Finch and opener David Warner have raised concerns over the effectiveness of the self-isolation policy of the government to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Australian government had announced that anyone arriving in the country from overseas will be forced to self-isolate for 14 days starting Sunday midnight (March 15) in a bid to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.

However, a lot of citizens are confused regarding the working of the precaution.

An Australian sports journalist Veronica Eggleton tweeted: "Genuine question - how does the government know if new arrivals are actually self-isolating?"
Finch re-tweeted Eggleton's tweet adding "Have been wondering the same thing!!"
Finch's remarks prompted a response from teammate Warner, who wrote "Or, what about the uber/taxi/bus/train they catch from the airport to their place."
