PNG Hunters relocation to Australia delayed again

From , 6:00 am on 9 February 2021

The Papua New Guinea Hunters rugby league team's relocation to Australia has been delayed again after one person tested positive for Covid-19.

34 players and management staff had been isolating together in a quarantine bubble since Thursday afternoon after receiving approval to travel by Queensland Health Authorities.

After undergoing a Covid-19 test, one result was classified as 'inconclusive' on Friday before further testing confirmed it to be a positive case on Saturday evening.
