Never mind. I got it. I forgot there are two Camila's now. I couldn't figure out how MCOS = Giorgi.
Sorry for the posts.

MCOS tested positive?
Yes, Camila tested positive. She's hoping to still be able to play the Aussie Open, but will have to wait and see how it plays out.
I don't know what MCOS stands for. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks.

Maria Camila Osorio Serrano. She's the promising player out of Colombia. Though that was the name she played under for the last year, she's shortened it officially to Camila Osorio, so that's the name you'll see in competition going forward. But you might see her referenced as MCOS, Camila, or Cami, all the same player.'
ETA: Kevin got it already, but I'll leave this up in case anyone else is confused.

Now we know why God made that gif of Federer and Nadal giggling uncontrollably. For this moment.

So can he just fly home, re-do the visa form, and fly back?

Not so quick. Fly back home, develop a severe medical condition during the flight (easy, it is something like 16 hours of flight) OR catch C19 from a fellow deportee, keep flying back EAST so he can cross the international date line 14 times and arrive in Australia on December 31st, go through quarantine and THEN get his paperwork. If he goes the "I have developed Hyper MioCarditis Angina", he simply has to prove it at some reasonable doctor. I gather that pushing the plane could do that for him.

But the medical exemption is still in place, right? It’s just the visa form being processed incorrectly that has caused him to be refused. Can’t he just re-apply for the correct visa? This is such a big story, it’s been a long while since I’ve been inspired to actually search the BBC for a tennis story!

Nope. It has been clear that it is not a visa thing. He simply cannot show he is complying with the exceptions, or that he is vaccinated. The visa is not the issue, it is that he simply cannot comply with the requirement.
