A small group of North Melbourne players and staff have tested positive to COVID-19 after the club’s trip to Tasmania over the weekend.

Caretaker coach Leigh Adams, and four players returned positive rapid antigen test results on Sunday after returning to Victoria.

Adams is expected to be available to undertake coaching duties this weekend whilst players who tested positive will be assessed later in the week regarding their availability. 

All players and staff who travelled to Tasmania were asked to stay home today as a precaution. Training will resume at Arden St on Tuesday.
