As an example, there was speculation Warner may play the second Test, but it was squashed when it was revealed he'd visited family and begun his rehab at home, meaning he wasn't allowed to re-enter the bubble until he went through quarantine again.
I don't know if the details of precisely how the bubbles function have ever been released, but there's a fair few things that can be inferred from the reporting - there's been a few articles on bubble fatigue over the past couple of weeks:

Completely ungrateful for all the privileges theyve had in life thatve bought them to this point. Completely
I believe Smith said something about how the original plan was to be able to meet up with their families over the Christmas break but the Avalon outbreak meant they couldn't do that.
Yeah for sure
Bit ridiculous that they were allowed to play but Zampa was banned for saying the family unfriendly version of “aw no”
You shut your face. The BBL is a family program.
Yeah, in one of those million SMH articles about bio-bubbles they pointed out that Smith hadn't seen his wife in ~4 months, the Christmas thing got cancelled after the Avalon outbreak, but they got to see each other briefly on NYE. I'm only speculating here, but I assume his wife had to do the three day at home isolation thing post-Christmas to get into the bubble, and has since left for whatever reason). Marnus has had his wife with him the whole time, by the sounds of things, and based on the Starc article it sounds like Alyssa Healy has been in the bubble at some point.
Yeah, the other rules would be applying equally. Again, only speculating here but if the Adelaide/Melbourne bubble rules are like the BBL ones it sounds like outdoor dining and most outdoor activities are fine (during Moises' brief spell out of the Test bubble and into the BBL bubble he did an on-air interview talking about how he was going to play some golf), and some of the SMH coverage of the Indian breach talked about click-and-collect shopping being fine as long as the players are wearing masks. That maps pretty neatly to point that sustained indoor contact (with people outside the bubble) is the highest risk activity.
even moreso that zampa was banned but finch wasn't for doing the same whilst actually mic'd up and on full volume to the viewing audience
Solid 15 minutes today. Good job Dan.I don't know if the details of precisely how the bubbles function have ever been released, but there's a fair few things that can be inferred from the reporting - there's been a few articles on bubble fatigue over the past couple of weeks:
When protection becomes prison: The trouble with bubbles
Some Australian cricketers will spend six months in the quasi isolation of bio-secure hubs. It can't be healthy.www.smh.com.au
Radical 'mental health rotation' strategy could tackle bubble fatigue
With players already admitting that living in biosecure hubs takes it toll, a former Australian team psychologist has a suggestion for the year ahead.Warner leads chorus of cricketers hopeful COVID vaccine eases bubble restrictions
Australia's top cricketers remain hopeful a COVID-19 vaccine could ease restrictions or negate the need for bio-secure hubs this year.
My understanding is that Australian players are under the same bubble restrictions as India, but obviously being a home series it's easier for them to leave and rejoin the bubble (e.g. the absences of Warner and Starc throughout). Sounds like it's also possible for them to get family into the bubble. From memory when the Adelaide restrictions came in mid-Test, Starc was saved on the basis of having to do a three-day at-home isolation before rejoining the bubble.

The restrictions were described as being looser in Adelaide and Melbourne, and they sound similar to the BBL bubble rules (which came into focus with the Lawrence/Lynn breach in Canberra -which was also indoor dining from memorywhich was selfie-related). Notably, Lynn and Lawrence played the match the following night but did have to isolate off-field and social distance on-field iirc (and were fined heavily).
