An additional Liberty A-League match has been postponed due to positive COVID cases.
The scheduled match between Newcastle Jets and Melbourne Victory, due to be held on 7 January, has been postponed as a result of the positive COVID-19 cases within the Newcastle Jets team.
The Newcastle Jets women’s football department confirmed positive COVID-19 cases via either RAT or PCR testing. All players, coaches and staff with positive results are now in isolation and following the NSW Health directives.
“The A-Leagues protocols continue to be effective for screening and subsequent PCR testing in detecting the virus and ensuring immediate isolation,” the A-Leagues said in a statement.
“Our primary concern is for the health, wellbeing and safety of all players, staff and their families. All positive cases and those close to them are adhering to relevant state government health directives, in close consultation with the A-Leagues.
“We will continue to work with the Newcastle Jets and Melbourne Victory on confirming a new schedule for the postponed match as soon as possible.”
