Western Province and the Lions have both had to isolate players and staff over the last few days following positive Covid-19 tests.

At the Lions one player and a management member tested positive according their team doctor‚ while at Western Province a yet to be capped Stormers player and an Under-19 player have had to isolate for the same reason.

“As part of the return-to-training protocol‚ all contracted players and team management members underwent Covid-19 tests on Thursday‚ with just two cases returning positive results. The fact that only two people tested positive from a large sample size is testament to the diligence the franchise has exercised in their adherence to coronavirus protocols.

“We have enforced very strict protocols and it is fantastic to see that our players and management are taking this virus seriously.
