And maybe I spoke tooooo soon. One of the Irish boys who plays for Essendon and went home during the initial Covid shutdown, has returned, done his Iso, and back into training, before testing positive the day before his first game. That game has been abandoned.
The comp CEO did say that a positive test would lead to a 30 day cessation of the competition. However that was back in March, there may be a new protocol in place.
At any rate, the rest of the round is going ahead, except the game between Essendon and Melbourne, as the whole Essendon squad would now be considered suspect until they can get them all through another testing regime.
