The NRL has announced it is introducing a self-isolation program for its players, as it looks to continue the premiership amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The self-isolation program will begin immediately, with players only permitted to have "essential interaction" with the community.
The decision was made following consultation between the Australian Rugby League Commission, the clubs and the Rugby League Players Association.
The NRL said all eight matches in round two — beginning this evening — will go ahead as planned, with the fixtures to be played at empty venues.
More to come.
