Tomorrow's SSE Airtricity League clash between Sligo Rovers and Waterford has been suspended after a Waterford player showed symptoms of Covid-19.
The domestic league returned behind-closed-doors over the weekend following a four-month break due to the pandemic.
Tuesday's fixture - which was scheduled for The Showgrounds in Sligo - is the first to be called off due to coronavirus precautions since the League of Ireland restart.
Waterford confirmed that the player in question travelled to Tolka Park for Saturday's clash with Shelbourne but did not play in the 1-0 win for The Blues.
A Waterford FC statement read: "At 8:45am this morning (Monday, 3rd of August), a player from our senior team reported to the club doctor with flu-like symptoms and has been sent for testing immediately.
"We are awaiting the results of the test however, until the results of the test are known, the club will cease all operations including training and staff meetings.
"Our Covid-19 management team will work in conjunction with the FAI and HSE to ensure that every precaution possible is taken.
"This may not be a confirmed case and we do not wish to cause any unwanted concern, however, the safety of the players, staff and public are of the utmost importance and for that reason, we will not be traveling to Sligo for our Tuesday fixture."
An SSE Airtricity League statement read: "Sligo Rovers v Waterford has been postponed due to Waterford player's suspected COVID-19 symptoms.
"The player did not train this morning and will now undergo a COVID-19 test. The player in question did not play against Shelbourne but did travel with the squad."
