COVID protocols on players vs team exclusions

Serious question here, given the recent outbreak/cluster in/around Cherrybrook relating to the Tangara school and the quarantine requirements around it, at what point would a TEAM need to be isolating/excluded from NWSF games for a period vs only individual players? Eg what if 3-4 West Penno players sisters went to the school and one has COVID? We're all training and with each other 3-4 times a week so it'd be well within the cooking period? Anyone have the answer here? Are there set protocols or are we guessing?

Getting desperate to catch the league leaders are we?

I'd expect outdoor weekend sport would be considered similar to shopping centres except for the beneficial fact we're outdoors and not in an enclosed space. So using the benchmark applied for public spaces, take the side of caution. All the reported "cases" have come from transmission from close contact indoor environments if you're to believe the information provided. Until a case is known to be passed on within a football pitch (training or games), shouldn't be raised as an issue. And even then, players should be tested/stood down and let everyone else get on with it.

Why are people worried about a repeat from WPH already just 6 games into the season. Any other potential excuses being cooked up to cancel the comp?

Make sure you boys wear your masks this weekend whilst playing, but the second you get off the field put them on. The virus doesn't actually exist for those 90-minutes.
