The NRL's Sydney-based clubs have been thrown back into the bio-security bubble following the Harbour City's latest positive COVID-19 cases.<\/a><\/p>\n

Starting midday Friday, the NRL's Sydney teams will be placed under level three restrictions.<\/p>\n

Players must remain home unless they are training, exercising, shopping for essential items or getting a takeaway meal.<\/p>\n

The Storm and Titans will also be subject to the same measures while in Sydney for their matches over round nine.<\/p>\n

Match-day protocols will begin tonight ahead of the Rabbitohs' clash with Melbourne, where temperature checks will be reinstated, and the return of clean and dirty zones.<\/p>\n

NRL Chief Executive Andrew Abdo said the game would take no risks in ensuring the Premiership, and next week's Magic Round, would proceed without impact.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"These are strong measures to ensure our players remain healthy and the competition can proceed without interruption," Abdo said.<\/p>\n

"We are hopeful Level 3 restrictions will only be implemented for a short time, but it is important to take this step as a safeguard measure, particularly with all clubs travelling to Brisbane next week.<\/p>\n

"The restrictions we have put in place also reduces the risk of a player attending a venue which may lead them to being identified as a close or casual contact."<\/p>\n
