The Armagh footballers have become the latest inter-county panel to be struck by a Covid-19 outbreak.
Kieran McGeeney’s side have ceased training as a “precautionary measure” after a number of confirmed cases in a club resulted in a number of county footballers testing positive.
A statement from Armagh GAA outlined: “Following a recent outbreak in a local club, Armagh Senior Football team has a number of confirmed positive results for COVID-19. We are strictly following the GAA and public health advice and as a precautionary measure we have postponed collective training.
“These are difficult times for our communities and Armagh GAA urge all members to follow the public health guidelines."
The news comes as 934 new Covid-19 cases were confirmed in Northern Ireland today, a new record. The daily positivity rate has risen to 12.2% in the North.
Armagh are the second senior county panel to be hit with coronavirus since inter-county training was officially allowed to recommence last month.
The Donegal footballers also had to isolate after an outbreak while, separately, the county final between Kilcar and Naomh Conaill had to be postponed for similar reasons.
The silver lining for Armagh is that they have already completed their senior football championship, with Maghery having shocked holders Crossmaglen Rangers in last month’s final.
Armagh are due to conclude their Allianz League Division Two campaign against Roscommon and Clare later this month before immediately turning their attention to an Ulster quarter-final against Derry on November 1 at Celtic Park.
